Trauma and the Nervous System: A Polyvagal Perspective

This video was developed to give a basic introduction and overview of how trauma and chronic stress affects our nervous system and how those effects impact our health and well-being. Much of the content is based on the groundbreaking work of Stephen Porges and his Polyvagal Theory and inspired and informed by the work of thought leaders Deb Dana, Vincent Felitti, Robert Anda, Gabor Mate, Dan Siegel and Peter Levine.

My therapist sent me this lol

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Great video. Listening with headphones, my ANS didn't appreciate it starting with a thunderclap.

[@amarie5620]

Anybody here because their therapist sent them?

[@martingonzales]

Who else here cause their therapist sent this link?

[@chaosdream21]

Good explanation, but like many of these videos glosses over the thing people really want to know, which is how to heal. And not everyone can just spend all their time with other regulated people.

All sounds good, but people with CPTSD can become so isolated and the people with the healthy ANS are no where to be seen or simply not interested, and that's something that's totally out of the control of the sufferer. No chance of reversing anything in complete isolation. I speak for myself, by the way. I have no past, no present and no future. It's all hell and there's no hope in isolation.

Love this video. As a therapist, I often get my clients to watch it. Very informative, easy to understand and a great resource.

Therein lies the problem: I want to be around positive, calm people because they calm me down and help me move toward a better state. Positive, calm people too often don't want to be around me because it disrupts their state.

Would love a follow up on how loved ones can best support someone with trauma. I feel at a loss and I’d be lying if I said that my loved one’s actions in a trauma state didn’t negatively impact our relationship and myself.

This should be a mandatory subject taught from kindergarten all the way through to any PhD.

This video made me realize I'm basically a walking ball of PTSD right now

[@detroiterz4931]

Im in awe, I’ve experienced 6+ ACEs and it scared me. Wish me luck on my journey to a healthier ANS. Thanks so much for this video, it helps me and lots others understand ourselves!!!

[@keyathomas4052]

OMG! This explains so much about me and why I seem to be systematically collecting all the diseases in the world! I need to fix my ANS.

[@floofygod]

It feels like I'm always mobilized, it never stops, not when I'm sleeping, not when I'm awake.

An awesome and practical summary of a super-important topic that profoundly affects and influences *every single human being*. This needs to have 800 Million views, rather then the current 800 thousand views. I agree with other commenters that it would be a marvelous piece to include in regular student education.

[@supriyagentes6042]

WHEN PEOPLE GO THROUGH ACCIDENTS AND PEOPLE SEE THEM WITHOUT MUCH OF PHYSICAL INJURIES LIKE BLOOD COMING OUT PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE OKAY BUT INSIDE THEY ARE BROKEN DOWN COMPLETELY . VICTIMS OF ACCIDENT ALWAYS STRUGGLE TO OVER COME THE PAIN , MENTAL TRAUMA AND SUFFERING. THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS IT SO NICELY WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN US

[@marshacreary2442]

They should do a video about the correlation between attachment styles and the Nervous system

[@healingzen338]

This is one of the very best educational video on this topic. Most impressive.

[@cultivatinghumanresiliency1292]

Well done! One of the most clear and concise descriptions I have seen.
