Unlocking Calm: Navigating Your Nervous System with Polyvagal Theory

This blog post introduces Polyvagal Theory as a framework for understanding the mind-body connection in anxiety and trauma. It defines the three states of the nervous system—Ventral Vagal, Sympathetic, and Dorsal Vagal—and provides a range of practical, evidence-based tools like breathwork, temperature change, and grounding to help you move from states of distress to a feeling of safety and calm. The post emphasizes that true healing involves supporting both the mind and the body.
