Polyvagal Theory Informed Therapy
Understanding your body is the first step in defeating an anxiety disorder. Polyvagal Theory helps us understand the mechanics of our nervous system and optimize our regulation of emotions during distressing situations.
Stephen Porges, the founder of Polyvagal Theory, noted that approximately 80% of nerve signals are sent from the body to the brain, and only 20% from the brain to the body. This is important because it highlights the fact that emotions and sensations from your body provide much of the information your brain needs to function. This means that bodily signals- fact that sensations, emotions, and physiological changes-provide much of the information the brain needs to function. Our bodies are wired from head-to-toe to feel emotion. Start therapy today to begin changing your relationship with your nervous system.
