Publisher's summary

Bringing the benefits of polyvagal theory to listeners through easy-to-implement exercises.

Here, for the first time, is a layperson's explanation of polyvagal theory, an approach to mental health and well-being that has taken the clinical world by storm. A polyvagal approach to life is based on the knowledge that the autonomic nervous system is shaped by early experience and reshaped with ongoing experience. This short book will offer an overview for nonspecialists and provide a series of exercises and meditations (practices) that will allow listeners to tune into their nervous systems, providing calming prompts to build and strengthen ventral vagal connections.

This book includes a comprehensive chapter on polyvagal theory, preceded by exercises that focus on mapping, reflecting, listening, deepening, creating, and connecting. Listeners who want to change a pattern and find new rhythm for their nervous systems can use this material to work toward those goals.

A must have for Polyvagal learning!

I listened to this book several times so far, and each listen I learn something new. I find it soothing and educational, a kind inspiration to my nervous system. An affirming explanation to what I previously couldn’t explain in my life. A hope and guide for the present moment, and the future.

Well done, and thank you. ❤️🥰😊

Must Pay twice for this book if you get the audio

Excellent book already, but heavily relies on some images that you have to buy the hard copy or ebook to view. A pdf file should be offered and, at least, Audible should have made the lack clear by using the term "abridged" and describing the issue. Not everyone has money to pay twice for one book. I give audible 1 star on this book for not making consumers aware they were going to have an added expense (kindle ebook?) if they want to get the most from this book
