Polyvagal Theory to Practice: A Complete Guide to Treat Anxiety, Calm Depression, and Regain Social Engagement
How to understand and apply the polyvagal theory in your daily life to reduce stress and experience less anxiety.
Stress pervades our lives and finds its way into everything we do. Most of us have a hard time handling that stress, and it throws the rest of our emotions out of whack.
In fact, 74% of people surveyed say they experience extreme stress that is difficult to cope with.
If this describes you, you're probably searching for help. You're tired of feeling out of control, anxious, and on edge.
Polyvagal theory can help.
Polyvagal theory looks at how we read our environment and respond to it based on a threat assessment that tells us whether we need to be stressed or not.
The theory isn't just for stress, either. Depression and trauma are also tied into it, as are your relationships. It's all about learning to read what's going on around you and react accordingly.
In Polyvagal Theory to Practice, you'll discover:
How the theory can help you regulate stress.
How trauma and PTSD develop
What stress does to affect your relationships
Basics of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems
Polyvagal techniques to reduce stress and anxiety
And much, much more!
You don't have to be an expert in human anatomy or psychology to understand how the autonomic nervous system functions and how the polyvagal theory ties into it.
By understanding the inner workings of your mind and body, you can achieve better control in your life and bring your emotional responses back under your control.
All of this is possible with the polyvagal theory.
If you're ready to become more socially engaged by overcoming stress and banishing anxiety, buy it now!

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing and this book is evidence of that. A side from the typo mistakes, the others writing style is confusing and longwinded. She used a lot of words to say very little. Her writing style seems to me to demonstrate a very medicalised and ablest mindset. She seems to neglect to say some important things or doesn’t know them - such as the ‘freeze’ response is when the sympathetic nervous system and the dorsal nervous system are both activated and that the sympathetic NS when activated with the ventral NS is responsible for play, demonstrating that the sympathetic NS is not a ‘bad’ system and in fact neutral. There are no useful ideas in here about how to use the theory to enhance your life and it seems to be quite patronising and ablest.
I’m so glad that I had some quality training in the PVT before I read this book otherwise I would be totally confused. My recommendation is to not waste your time or money on this book.
