The Science of Feeling Safe Enough To Fall in Love with Life

Deb Dana’s Polyvagal approach to living introduces a Rhythm of Regulation® to embed compassion, calm and joy to the nervous system.

Everyone is invited.

Whether you are an established Polyvagal enthusiast, clinician, practitioner or simply a curious human being at the beginning of your Polyvagal journey, we invite you to explore and understand your autonomic nervous system in order to feel safe enough to fall in love with life. An autonomic nervous system that co-regulates and self-regulates with ease creates the possibility to move out of the need for protection - and instead to embody a system that finds joy in connection.

Deb Dana, known for translating Polyvagal Theory into a language and application that is both understandable and accessible work as a clinician, consultant, author and speaker is focused on using a Polyvagal lens to understand and resolve the impact of trauma - and to create ways of working that honor the role of the autonomic nervous system as we move through states of protection and connection in an ongoing quest for safety.

What is Polyvagal?
The Polyvagal Theory is a collection of proposed evolutionary, neuroscientific, and psychological constructs pertaining to the role of the vagus nerve in emotion regulation, social connection and fear response.

Polyvagal takes its name from the vagus, a cranial nerve that forms the primary component of the parasympathetic nervous system. Learn more
