Understanding the Polyvagal Theory

I have learned this theory many, many times! But I often mix up parts of it and have difficulty remembering the intricacies of the theory. This YouTube video has been super helpful in sorting this theory out for me. Somatic Experiencing uses the Polyvagal Theory to understand the physiological responses of the body. As a therapist, I use this information to help me understand where my clients are in their trauma response and where to focus treatment in the therapy setting. I have been studying Polyvagal Theory more, as I, with two attorneys, are presenting on this in October 2018 for a legal mediation training. I'm hoping this helps you to understand your body, and possibly your trauma response, as well!
