🔍 Understanding Our Nervous System Through the "Polyvagal Ladder" 🧠💡 Our autonomic nervous system operates like a highly coordinated team with three key players, engaging and recovering in a specific sequence. Let’s explore the "Polyvagal Ladder," a concept by Dr. Stephen Porges, made practical by Deb Dana. 1️⃣ Ventral Vagal Complex - This is the part of the parasympathetic branch that’s all about social engagement, connection, and safety. 🌟 THIS FEELS LIKE: Joy, connection, creativity, pla...

✨Recognizing which state your nervous system is in can help you better understand your feelings and reactions. Each state serves a purpose and signals your body’s needs. ✅Our aim and purpose is to be able to navigate these states with flexibility according to what is needed of us in the moment. ✅A regulated nervous system doesn’t mean calm and peace all the time but what it means is it’s capacity to adapt to what external environment asks of us. 🔥For example, if there is a dangerous situati...

The Ventral Vagal Pathway, foundational to Polyvagal Theory developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, represents the most evolved aspect of our autonomic nervous system. This sophisticated neural circuitry is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, specifically linked to the vagus nerve. Unlike its counterparts that prepare us for fight, flight, or freeze responses, the ventral vagal pathway promotes states of calm and social engagement. It’s essentially our biological platform for building connec...

What is a Dysregulated Nervous System - Nervous System Dysregulation — Solo & Kicking

Before we can begin to heal our nervous system, we first have to learn what is a dysregulated nervous system. We will how our nervous system has different processes to keep us safe and common responses to trauma.Then we will get into nervous system dysregulation and symptoms of a dysregulated nervo

The vagal nerves are the main nerves of your parasympathetic nervous system that controls specific body functions such as digestion, heart rate and immune system. Although we can't control the functions of the vagus nerve system we can stimulate our vagus nerve to send a message to our bodies that it’s time to relax and de-stress, which leads to long-term improvements in mood, pain management and resilience. #BodyICEREcovery #vagusnervestimulation #relaxation #coldtherapy #vagusnerve Nerve System, Nervus Vagus, The Vagus Nerve, Calm Yourself, Low Estrogen Symptoms, Nerve Health, Parasympathetic Nervous System, Autonomic Nervous System, Sciatic Nerve Pain

Jennifer Mann on Instagram: "With Polyvagal Theory, you can help track stress + trauma’s impact on the nervous system to reduce chronic symptoms and enhance healing. Polyvagal theory explains that when we meet a challenge that overwhelms the ventral vagal system (executive functioning part of the brain), we move down the “ladder” into the mobilization of the sympathetic nervous system which allows for some form of fight or flight. If that the challenge cannot be resolved in the place of the sympathetic state, we then move to the most primitive of our survival responses, into immobilization and disconnection found in the dorsal vagal system (the reptilian brain). Dr. Porges explains that in order to move from the bottom of the hierarchy to return to ventral vagal regulation (a place of saf Polyvagal Theory Exercises, Heal Nervous System, Ventral Vagal, Dorsal Vagal, Reptilian Brain, Sympathetic Nervous System, Polyvagal Theory, Nervous System Regulation, Therapeutic Activities
