Summary

Deb Dana is the foremost translator of polyvagal theory into clinical practice。 Here， in her third book on this groundbreaking theory， she provides therapists with a grab- bag of polyvagal- informed exercises for their clients， to use both within and between sessions。

These exercises offer readily understandable explanations of the ways the autonomic nervous system directs daily living。 They use the principles of polyvagal theory to guide clients to safely connect to their autonomic responses and navigate daily experiences in new ways。 The exercises are designed to be introduced over time in a variety of clinical sessions with accompanying exercises appropriate for use by clients between sessions to enhance the therapeutic change process。

Essential reading for any therapist who wants to take their polyvagal knowledge to the next level and is looking for easy ways to deliver polyvagal solutions with their clients。

If you are a body based trauma informed health professional this book is for you。 Listened to it on audio for learning and convenience sake but will definitely purchase the text for all the exercise resources。 The sentiment 'Knowledge is Power' is evidenced in this and all of Deb Dana's work， helping others to increase their ability to know more about themselves and practice what they need to heal and live a more regulated life。 If you are a body based trauma informed health professional this book is for you。 Listened to it on audio for learning and convenience sake but will definitely purchase the text for all the exercise resources。 The sentiment 'Knowledge is Power' is evidenced in this and all of Deb Dana's work， helping others to increase their ability to know more about themselves and practice what they need to heal and live a more regulated life。 。。。more

A beautiful complement to the previous book by Deb Dana。 Practical applications and explorations of using polyvagal theory in the real world。

Listened to the audiobook。 It has practical exercises。 Getting a printed version for my personal library and quick reference。

Great Exercises。 The Polyvagal Theory and Practice is effective and monumental。I prefer the vocabulary of IFS though。 It is a very similar model， but easier for clients in my experience。I think the future lies in combining both， as some are already doing。

Of valuable service to any person pursuing a career where human connection is at the heart of the profession。 Or to anyone on a healing journey。While I read “Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection” to its conclusion， it is not the end of Deb Dana’s text。 It is my belief that this was intentional， if at least reflects the way I have， and will continue to， work（ed） through the book。 Dana includes the exercises she mentions in her book （50 throughout chapters 4-8） word for word at the end of Of valuable service to any person pursuing a career where human connection is at the heart of the profession。 Or to anyone on a healing journey。While I read “Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection” to its conclusion， it is not the end of Deb Dana’s text。 It is my belief that this was intentional， if at least reflects the way I have， and will continue to， work（ed） through the book。 Dana includes the exercises she mentions in her book （50 throughout chapters 4-8） word for word at the end of the book- prior to pages of references。 As it is mentioned in the introduction， if you plan on implementing these exercises， you should have your own experiences to pull from。 Thus， I have read all Deb Dana has to say in this book and will now begin a journey through these exercises。 I aspire to be a benevolent being who can provide co-regulation for a better tomorrow。 If you have not heard of the polyvagal theory， this may be an overwhelming amount of information。 Take your time， if you have to set it down for a few days- do it and come back when you’re ready。 。。。more

If you've read The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy and wanted some hands-on exercises to do with clients， this is the book for you。 I started using Deb Dana's first book IMMEDIATELY in sessions and groups， before I was even finished reading it， because it was such useful information。 This book is no different。 I have started using the exercises with clients already and I and they are really enjoying it。 4 stars only because the last 90 pages are word-for-word identical to the exercises as they are p If you've read The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy and wanted some hands-on exercises to do with clients， this is the book for you。 I started using Deb Dana's first book IMMEDIATELY in sessions and groups， before I was even finished reading it， because it was such useful information。 This book is no different。 I have started using the exercises with clients already and I and they are really enjoying it。 4 stars only because the last 90 pages are word-for-word identical to the exercises as they are previously presented in the book。 Not sure why they included them twice， I guess just to cut out all the descriptions？ It didn't change my liking of the book but it seems like a waste of paper。 。。。more
