In Part 4 we will examine the Sympathetic Nervous System, our mobilization response to danger. It is a powerful energetic, electromagnetic charge that builds within our nervous system and is released through an explosion of action.
Polyvagal Theory provides the tools to understand the actual mechanism controlling our subconscious autopilot and empowers us to take back control of our thoughts and actions, as well as how the world responds to us.
First proposed in 1994 by Stephen Porgess, PhD, Polyvagal Theory has redefined our understanding of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and its relationship to how trauma/overwhelm affects our BodyMind System (BMS).
