About this video:
In this compelling episode, pioneering neuroscientist Stephen Porges and journalist Seth Porges break down the revolutionary Polyvagal Theory, revealing how our autonomic nervous system controls stress, trauma, and connection. They explain why feeling safe is essential for both mental and physical well-being and how our body’s neuroception often misinterprets modern safety cues. With groundbreaking insights into the role of the vagus nerve and the impact of positive social interactions, this discussion challenges traditional approaches to treating anxiety and trauma. Tune in to discover how rebalancing your nervous system can unlock resilience and transform your life.
