Polyvagal Theory in 11 Minutes
The Polyvagal Theory can be described in 11 minutes To do that we’ll need to let go of some of the fancier scientific language and many of its nuances or broad implications. If we’re willing to do so we can pair the basics down into about 11 minutes of reflections on the basic elements found in
Polyvagal Theory and Affiliation in Mammals
The Polyvagal Theory offers a clear explanation of why mammals are able to affiliate Mammals have unique reproductive patterns unlike most every other family of species on our planet. The way we invest in raising our young is unique (with birds making a curious exception). Evolutionary biologists call this, “Parental Investment” (wikipedia) and the Polyvagal
Polyvagal Theory and Neuroception
The Polyvagal Theory offers a prescriptive model of voluntary and involuntary behavior based on a Neuroception of “sufficient safety,””danger” or “life-threat.” At the center of Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal theory is the notion of neuroception (wikipedia). The autonomic nervous system’s continuous assessment of the relative safety or danger of any given moment or situation and subsequent
