Anchored

How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory

De: Deb Dana, Stephen Porges PhD - Foreword by

Narrado por: Deb Dana

An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting: polyvagal theory.

In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body. Using field-tested techniques, Dana helps you master the skills to become more aware of your nervous system moment to moment - and change the way you respond to the great and small challenges of life.

Here, you'll explore:

• Polyvagal theory - get to know the biology and function of your vagus nerve, the highway of the nervous system
• Befriending your nervous system - attune to what's going on in your body by developing your "neuroception"
• Practices and guidance to gently shape your nervous system for greater resilience, intuition, safety, and wonder

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Necessary for all humans!!

This is a hugeeeee resource in helping understand stress response and how to heal as a human.

Vast Knowledge of how to regulate our nervous system

The narrative was composed in a serene and tranquil manner, with each chapter effectively capturing my attention and inspiring me to delve deeper into the subject matter, particularly during times when I required the information the most.

Great listening, very well structured information that is presented in an easily understood presentation m

The subject matter covered is of great importance to me. I found it very useful and will be listening to the many notes and bookmarks I made while listening.

Anchored

Deb Dana has so much knowledge and is very kind and gentle in teaching it!
Her voice automatically takes me to a ventral state!
Thank you Deb!

Very helpful

As someone just learning to explore a complicated nervous system this book was a great exploration into my own life.

Very Helpful!

This was one of dozens of books I listened to more than once on my healing journey. It was less triggering and more useful and soothing than many.

Excellent content

Great scientifically backed advice for understanding and learning to befriend your sympathetic nervous system. Narration does tend to get a little sleepy and refers to doing several exercises on paper hard to do if in the shower/driving!

Really helpful

This book was very helpful- Deb Dana’s voice is soothing and I intend to listen to this several more times.

Life changing

If someone has only brought this to my attention sooner. I would have had a much more centered and congruent life.
