About this audiobook

This Nerve Is More Critical Than Previously Thought , So Take Care Of It!

Since Dr. Stephen Porges developed the Polyvagal theory to explain how our autonomic nervous system regulates our physical reactions as well as our emotional reactions, a lot of research and testing has gone into this theory to show how the functioning of our nervous system contributes to our physical and mental health.

The results were mind-blowing, as the vagus nerve was actually found to hold the key to healthy physical and mental health to a degree never thought possible.

Would you wonder why so many people suffer from chronic inflammation, mood disorders, and digestive problems–given access to medicine, high quality food, and a relatively relaxed and healthy life?

Do you feel like you're caught in "fight-or-flight" mode all the time, so that your body can't focus on working properly?

Okay, this is just what happens to a lot of men.

Your nervous system is one of the most beautiful things on this planet. In reality, it's so complicated that scientists always find out how it works, and they're finding some pretty amazing things.

Another such thing is the so-called polyvalential theory.

Guess what happens if the nerve is not strong enough?

Sure. Yes, exactly. You're caught in constant stress, gradually destroying your physical and mental health.

Luckily, you can cure yourself by learning about polyvagal theory and applying the techniques of vagus nerve stimulation that you will find in this book.

    Makes the Polyvagal theory accessible and provides numerous examples of how to implement the theory into clinical work.

    Working with the regulation of a client's nervous system through the power of the polyvagal lens guides clinicians to interventions with trauma survivors that are immediately and reliably effective in teaching clients to manage their survival responses and recover safety in connection. This clear and comprehensive book is much needed and very much welcomed.

    5/5
    Polyvagal theory has been a godsend for trauma therapists and survivors alike, helping them understand symptoms and reactions that had been mysterious and uncontrollable. Until now, however, therapists lacked a method for putting PT into practice. With this well-written book, Deb Dana not only explains the theory clearly but also offers therapists practical steps for helping survivors remain regulated.
