Polyvagal Theory

Polyvagal is a therapeutic approach that focuses on regulating the nervous system to help with anxiety, stress, and trauma. Polyvagal encourages a sense of safety and connection that uses techniques like mindfulness, breathing, and movements to help shift from being in fight/flight/freeze mode.

By providing a calm, safe, authentic, and encouraging space, clients get the opportunity to understand their nervous system patterns and how stuck they are in them. Clients get to engage in moving towards a more regulated and safe state.

When you feel like you are in a constant state of defensiveness, it is hard to heal your mind and listen to your body.
