Deb Dana & Dr. Stephen Porges | The Polyvagal Theory, Welcome vs. Warning, & Regulating the Self

[@rainbowanna1]

I really appreciate the generosity to offer this conversation for free to interested viewers and in turn enable access to a wider public. This generous gesture makes it a powerful contribution to our Health Commons.

Thanks very much. This conversation touches on so many issues that I'm dealing with right now. I was particularly touched that it was put into words how often our current health system stirs up fears instead of providing an environment that enables healing and learning about me and my body.

[@charlenesimon7827]

So beautiful. Thank you so much as a someone who has experienced trauma and is healing from them, I am very moved by your messages. Heartfelt gratitude to the three of you.

Thanks so much, Thomas, for sharing this wonderfully regulated and regulating conversation. It gives me hope for my own continuing healing journey for my mostly dysregulated NS by learning to listen to my NS and looking for cues of safety. And I love the notion of "changing the world one NS at a time", thanks Dana and Steve :)

Thank you for offering this interview and information. I’m a trauma survivor and this really helped me understand why I react to things at times the way I do. Even after many years of therapy and 12 Step programs. Its does seem to be associated by what is going on in my life and environment. Super grateful to you. Def going to look up more from the trauma summit!! 👏🏼👏🏼✨✨✨🙏🏽💕💕

Thankyou for sharing your conversation. It is very important that we can get back into our body awareness and be able to regulate ourselves in our relationships in every day experiences.

I absolutely loved this episode and I'm astounded by the results of the Safe and Sound Protocol. THANK YOU!

[@artandnaturediaries9983]

In awe by the passion that comes across through the art of conversation.

Wow! Yes. "Leading people back to their heritage." A most profound, poignant, novel point. Perhaps this is what so many are hungering for today?

Increíble la sincronicidad de estas personas. Una charla que hizo breve! Muchas gracias.

Thank you soo much for this video! I love these two doctors and how they've changed the world! Dr. Purges revolutionezed actually the entire humanity and I am so happy for us! I've always inhabited my body due to some congenital birth defects that led for this reason, to not present the symptoms and have the future doctors prescribed for me almost 56 years ago. I am still alive and autonomous which is why I understand very well this interaction with our body and what is means. We really need to learn to listen to our bodies now that we put a name to this. I like to play with the word "vague " because of all this interaction, a "whole " relationship! Thank you gratefully!❤️

Apply these methods to Long Lyme & Long Covid sufferers. Especially those with C-PTSD and neurodiverse backgrounds.

Beautifully presented by Thomas.

[@estudandofrancêssozinhocomigo]

Exactly!

[@Gertrudevanvoorden]

Tks for that. Now i understand what the dog, which i raised myself as pup, held and touched everyday, is doing with me. She is a super coregulator, connects to my heart in attachment. The only dog out of 5 dogs which can. She also does not judge me. None of them do that. Stole one of my superexpensive dates today, which made me explode in rage. Thought i had put it far away on the table so they could not reach it.

[@estudandofrancêssozinhocomigo]

It becomes very hard to be able to say which of these three makes us feel more at a welcome and more in ventral. Feeling sooooooo blessed now for having watched this! Just wonderful, more and more, as one watches, by the minute!

[@dragonflyginger]

Fascinating!!! And makes so much more sense to me. Thank you for this gem. 🙏💚

[@estudandofrancêssozinhocomigo]

[@jillrocha645]

Thanks a enlightening presentation

[@aresedgar]

Thank you for your work!

[@georgiasmyrniou6337]

For a layperson like me I would like to know more specifically “how” exactly they work with the patients what I hear is trust and safety but I would like a more concrete direction as to what their program says about how to come in tune with the patient or autistic kids how the steps of this “normalisation” or at-tune-ment” takes place. If you have a link please send it on

[@michelletruth9995]

Here is a live therapy session with Dana which might give you an idea of how polyvagal therapy works. This session also uses a special camera so you can actually see the state of the client´s nervous system by the color of the cube. Hope that helps :) "PhysioCam in Action with Deb Dana, LCSW - Kirkland" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJzIh5h7d5ufY5o

Excellent talk so enriching I’m njeveondering if the shaking hand I experience due to a shingles sequel will be overcome as I’m now aware of it being reaction to the shock of this persistent pain

[@phyllisstern9628]

Have an internalized sense of safety
