Polyvagal Therapy is based on the science of how your nervous system responds to safety and danger. It focuses on helping your body feel more regulated and supported so you can move out of survival mode and into a place of connection and calm. Through gentle, guided techniques like breathwork, movement, sound, and mindfulness, this therapy helps shift your nervous system into a more balanced and resilient state.
When you’ve experienced trauma or long-term stress, your body can get stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze. This can lead to anxiety, shutdown, emotional numbness, or feeling constantly on edge. Polyvagal Therapy helps release those patterns by working directly with your body and nervous system rather than just your thoughts. It’s especially helpful for people who have trouble calming down or feeling safe.
Polyvagal Therapy supports mental health by teaching your body how to feel safe, grounded, and present. It helps reduce emotional reactivity, improve your ability to connect with others, and strengthen your overall sense of emotional stability. This type of therapy is especially powerful when combined with talk therapy, as it helps create the inner safety needed for deeper healing.
