IN THIS LESSON
Learn how trauma stores in the body through the lens of polyvagal theory.
Polyvagal Theory, developed by Stephen Porges, explains how the vagus nerve regulates our responses to stress through a hierarchical system involving social engagement, fight-or-flight, and freeze reactions. It introduces the concept of "neuroception," the subconscious detection of safety or danger, which influences our physiological and emotional states.
