Ep. 35: How to Use Polyvagal Theory To Shift Your Nervous System with Deb Dana

#polyvagaltherory #drdebdana Dr. Diana Hill discusses how to use Polyvagal Theory to shift your nervous system with Deb Dana

[@kriyapada]

24 seconds in and already loving the vibe🙏 (And what a remarkably lovely room she's in 😍) - I already know I'll enjoy the rest. ...recently discovered some polyvagal exercises that were immediate game changers in my decades long struggle to optimize my self-regulation skills. Deb's books will be the next things I order from amazon for sure 👍

[@neva.2764]

Do you have a link to the exercices please? Is it Sukie Baxter?

[@kriyapada]

@@neva.2764 They were from the book by Stephen Porges, "Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve"

this is the first time that i hear this concept about nervous system and how it interacts with other people's nervous system. I am autistic, highly empathic and psychic by default and these explanations offered by Deb Dana make a lot of sense because i really have a hard time being in the world and feeling safe, while i sense everyone else's energies around me, including places, substances and objects. This is why i find my home sanctuary or nature to be so replenishing and i cant be with people who send disturbing frequencies. No one understands why when i explain it though. Thank you for sharing.

You can learn techniques to shield yourself from other's energy field. It cones in handy when you're an empath 😊

[@dumitriudaniela]

@@neva.2764 thanks, but ive been learning a ton of energetic shielding techniques in the last 15 years, and none of them is working. Light bubbles, grounding tools, and so on, they are all worthless. I am autistic and i feel everything like i am one with all. all the time.

"Ventral" - open and airy, "dorsal" for me is "under water", all that is left seen when a fish dives. 😊

[@KandyKoatedKrafts]

Thanks, thats is helpful 😊

[@LeydisViewllc]

This is what I've done I am glad to know the corect terminology....all it is is shifting the perception of the experience to shift the feeling of the experience I teach this to people but didn't know what it was ....thank you.

[@marissadouglas3103]

Thank you so much for this! Learning more about the polyvagal theory has connected so many dots for struggles I have. This interview was so informative 🙏🏼

[@ontocratos]

Thanks for this inspiring and hopeful conversation! It gave me some new practical tools I will apply in my therapy practice. Thank you for both your openness! Warmly from Belgium

Thank you for the gift of your work. Love from Canada ❤🍁❤

Thank you so much for the more practical slant to this discussion - this was the most valuable podcast I've listened to in a long time. The theory is fascinating and there is so much content about that; but what I desperately need are some tools to help get off the couch and through the day, and just having some to use now has greatly increased by sense of safety! Much gratitude to Dr. Diana and Deb Dana!!

I grew up in rural poverty and squalor. In recent times I realised my left ear was blocked- old time glue ear. When it unblocked I found I had stereo hearing- Could pick up the nuance in other people's voices. It took me some time to get used to this! Then I went to a physiotherapist who helped me to breath- beginning with nose breathing- and ending with liberating the strength and plasticity of the diaphragm. This was a game changer. Must more relevant to me that therapy alone.

[@deerich-sharp4643]

I have studied PV Theory and read Deb Dana...this was just a wonderful and informative conversation putting it all together in real terms ...thank you so much ...everyone should watch this as it will give all of us a really good understanding of how our nervous system runs our lives ...

[@lilacfunish]

Too many words when not even one picture to show the so called ventral vagus nerve.

[@spacenessteresag.valenzuel3707]

Here you have a másterclass with images!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/foacknywhNGfors

[@joannego856]

I had agreed that an image would’ve been helpful. Especially for us beginners

[@MishMacky]

You can search the internet very easily to find thousands of images.

The part about caregiving applies too to mothering/parenting - particularly for parents of young children or home educators who are with their children most of the times. 🙏

[@charliebrannigan1275]

Wonderful inspiring conversation, thanks. How much safer the world seems as ye explore the journey towards healing. 🦋🌱

[@AliB-cf3bq]

Thank you both for a wonderful interview! Just one thing would it be possible to organise interviews so both people are on screen? It was very disconcerting having the screen flash from one to the other of you or literally stop,if one of other moved or said something whilst the other was on screen.

[@zenlotus4peace]

Thank you both for sharing your cues of safety❤
