It seems to be written for health professionals。 It was pretty hard to find useful information I could apply

Adequate information to use when you work with clients who experience a traumatic event。

First came accross the polyvagal theory （poly=many， vagel=wandering） while researching complex cptsd。 A well written book that looks at vagel nerve the circuits that are regulated in the brain stem and how this is regulated when in different states （fight/flight） so over sees the functions of parasympathetic nervous systemand sympathetic nervous system。 Unfolded are their functions in the bodys reaction /social interactional behaviour and pick of of cues。The book keeps it simple enabling you to First came accross the polyvagal theory （poly=many， vagel=wandering） while researching complex cptsd。 A well written book that looks at vagel nerve the circuits that are regulated in the brain stem and how this is regulated when in different states （fight/flight） so over sees the functions of parasympathetic nervous systemand sympathetic nervous system。 Unfolded are their functions in the bodys reaction /social interactional behaviour and pick of of cues。The book keeps it simple enabling you to really understand the evolution of the theory。 。。。more

This is a great addition to any trauma therapists skill set。 Great information。

This was a really interesting listen that reminded me to reconnect with some of the therapeutic tools I learned in less cognitive modalities （art， theatre， etc）。 I recommend it to anyone interested in tangible ideas and exercises to explore vagal phases。

4/5Porges' book on Polyvagal Theory was more scientific than I was willing to put in the work for currently。 So I decided to give this a try and it was more my speed as a practicing therapist。 There are a lot of brilliant perspectives in this book and I'll definitely be looking into learning more about the theory。 I like practical but this seemed more "technique-ee" than I would prefer。 I'm still wondering what this looks like to actually integrate this into real situations rather than doing int 4/5Porges' book on Polyvagal Theory was more scientific than I was willing to put in the work for currently。 So I decided to give this a try and it was more my speed as a practicing therapist。 There are a lot of brilliant perspectives in this book and I'll definitely be looking into learning more about the theory。 I like practical but this seemed more "technique-ee" than I would prefer。 I'm still wondering what this looks like to actually integrate this into real situations rather than doing intervention after intervention。 I may change my mind as I try out some of the interventions but for now， I like a lot of this book but wish it helped more in regards to integration in practice rather than theory and interventions。 。。。more

i will come back to this book again and again。 a thorough enough overview of the polyvagal theory that i feel i understand it without being overwhelming。 deb dana's language is straightforward and proceeds at just the right pace。 a gradual approach into the material with exercises at every step， both to complete alone and with a therapist。 this book is clearly written for therapists but i found it very useful as a layperson。 i will come back to this book again and again。 a thorough enough overview of the polyvagal theory that i feel i understand it without being overwhelming。 deb dana's language is straightforward and proceeds at just the right pace。 a gradual approach into the material with exercises at every step， both to complete alone and with a therapist。 this book is clearly written for therapists but i found it very useful as a layperson。 。。。more

This is not just a book on theory， but also an immensely practical book filled with concrete exercises for both clients and therapists as well as several worksheets that can be utilized during sessions， replete with examples。 This is a resource that I will return to。

Great practical tips for a therapy based on the poly-vagal theory。 The book first explains the theory and then mentions the different ways this theory can be used to facilitate the therapy process。 Really practical and insightful。

this provided me wording to use to make myself understood with others。 （As well as to understand others who are using the same language）I recommend this to be read by anyone who is interested。 I am not a therapist， I am a late person and this gave me information that I wanted。

Important work especially in this time of the pandemic。 I listened to it a second time and will most likely listen to it again in a few months as a reminder。

An interesting and useful model that contains elements of both psychology and medical model understandings of mental health （particularly anxiety and dissociation）。 Accessible model， and may help facilitate bridging conversations between psychiatry and psychology。

A MUST read for anyone wanting to understand Polyvagal Theory and trauma in an easy to understand way。

Excellent insight into how to use Polyvagal in a therapeutic setting

This book was full of great information and completely changed how I think about our nervous system and its regulation。 It is definitely written for therapists not parents of children who are dysregulated， but provides lots of good background。 I have since found other resources for parents that build upon the polyvagal theory and I now have a strong foundation to fully understand them。

This is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read。 This theory is， in my mind， unquestionably valuable in helping people to understand the different emotional states humans progress through at different times and how to work back and forth between them。 I read this as an audio book and will now re read as a written one to take notes。 Brilliant。

Excellent， and very profound。

I originally bought Stephen Porges' book， but it was way too scientifically technical for me。 At that point I could've bought his pocket guide， but this book appealed to me because I care more about the application of the theory than the theory itself。 And oh boy is that application fantastic！This review is going to be a long one， so let me tell you what to expect。 I'm going to outline five things that I noticed as cool/helpful or that changed in me from having read about polyvagal theory。 I'm n I originally bought Stephen Porges' book， but it was way too scientifically technical for me。 At that point I could've bought his pocket guide， but this book appealed to me because I care more about the application of the theory than the theory itself。 And oh boy is that application fantastic！This review is going to be a long one， so let me tell you what to expect。 I'm going to outline five things that I noticed as cool/helpful or that changed in me from having read about polyvagal theory。 I'm not going to explain what the theory actually is though （you can Google for that or checkout Instagram）。 I'm also not going to spend a lot of time talking about the book itself。 My short take away is that it was a relatively easy read， explained concepts clearly， and offered a lot of exercises and concrete application。So！ On to the things that interested me。。1。 It's actually pretty important to feel safe。 Within this framework， it is physiologically difficult if not impossible to have genuine social connection or a feeling of security while the body is feeling unsafe。 This is sort of obvious in retrospect， but I guess I thought that I could think myself calm， or that the feelings of anxiety were aiding me in the moment。 I decided to experiment with this by implementing a small habit: when I notice that I'm feeling unsafe/anxious/wanting to run away/wanting to fight， then I pause what I'm doing。 Take deep and slow breaths。 Bring as much gentle curiosity as I can。 When I did this during solo moments of worry， I found myself feeling less urgent and closed in afterward。 When I tried this during interpersonal conflict， both of us were able to settle and have difficult conversations while maintaining connection。 Frankly， they were the best， hard conversations I've had。2。 The body/mind connection。 Within this framework， your body is tracking the environment around you and it's responding as it believes is correct。 My body senses danger？ I feel tense and activated。 My body senses safety？ I feel relaxed and comfortable。 How I feel comes after my body taking in information。 The stories that I tell myself about a situation are irrevocably linked up to what I'm physically experiencing。 The example from the book about this is how when someone is feeling unsafe， a neutral face is read as angry。 That same neutral face will be read accurately as neutral or even positive by someone who's physiologically feeling safe。 There's an example from my life where this clicks and it brought a significant， "ah ha！" moment。 When I'm feeling stressed and low energy and I think about my life， it feels like everything is terrible and without meaning。 Then I go to bed， wake up feeling rested， and I think about the same things that had been on my mind the night before， and things no longer feel terrible and without meaning。 And this has been incredibly confusing for me， because what's the truth？ How do I actually feel？ How is it that I can think about the very same events in one state and have one interpretation， but when I think about the same things in a different state， I have a different interpretation？ Polyvagal theory offers a fairly complete answer to these previously impossible questions。3。 This re-contextualized a lot of my past experiences。 I don't want to go into a lot of detail about this one， but the short version is that it was extremely validating to see my past in this light and it allowed for some releasing of tension。4。 This removes any need for internal adversarial orientation。 My body is doing its best for me。 My body has been conditioned from the experiences that I've had。 All of the behaviors that are causing me difficulties now， were at one point mechanisms that served to protect me。 This removes a huge chunk of shame and blame。5。 The framework and language itself。 The way it structures experience in a way that can be easily mapped onto。 The way it provides keywords both for internal use and for communicating to others。 Simply having named concepts is useful for understanding。Anywhoo， would definitely recommend。 Only 4/5 because while it was absolutely useful， it's being dissolved into my broader body of knowledge instead of living on as a tool I repeatedly go to use。 。。。more

This book is fantastic。 Polyvagal theory is hereby my new therapy baby。 I love finding new language to describe internal processes and this book gave me a lot of it。 I only wish she had gone into more detail about feelings that require overlapping polyvagal states！ It’s absolutely fascinating to me。 I also appreciate how I can weave this theory with Pat Ogden’s sensorimotor psychotherapy and Richard Schwartz’s internal family systems theory。 I love it when all the pieces fit together。 Would high This book is fantastic。 Polyvagal theory is hereby my new therapy baby。 I love finding new language to describe internal processes and this book gave me a lot of it。 I only wish she had gone into more detail about feelings that require overlapping polyvagal states！ It’s absolutely fascinating to me。 I also appreciate how I can weave this theory with Pat Ogden’s sensorimotor psychotherapy and Richard Schwartz’s internal family systems theory。 I love it when all the pieces fit together。 Would highly recommend to anyone dealing with c-ptsd。 。。。more

I like the idea of this book more than I liked the actual delivery which was rubbish。

Glad I have a physical copy to go with the audio through the library。 A great book with loads of practical resources and tips。 Works better with your eyeballs than with your ear holes。

Un libro "para terapeutas" que toda persona que desee conocerse haría bien en leer。 Te enseña a crear tu propio mapa de detonantes que te provocan luchar， huir o congelar （a tu sistema nervioso autónomo）。 Cuanto más conozcas tus automatismos， más libre puedes ser de ellos。 O prevenirlos para que no afecten tanto tu vida。Un libro que explica sencillamente una teoría densa y que enseña a practicar ejercicios。 Un libro "para terapeutas" que toda persona que desee conocerse haría bien en leer。 Te enseña a crear tu propio mapa de detonantes que te provocan luchar， huir o congelar （a tu sistema nervioso autónomo）。 Cuanto más conozcas tus automatismos， más libre puedes ser de ellos。 O prevenirlos para que no afecten tanto tu vida。Un libro que explica sencillamente una teoría densa y que enseña a practicar ejercicios。 。。。more
