Conversations With a Wounded Healer

215 - Courtney Rolfe - Exploring the Ancient Wisdom of Modern Polyvagal Theory


Listen Later

How’s your nervous system these days? Oof. I don’t ask to provoke. Still, I understand that the question can stir up immediate and unpleasant vibrations deep in the marrow, feelings that cannot be put into words. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s evolutionary. 

Courtney Rolfe is a psychotherapist, trainer, and speaker who has spent much of her professional career translating the language of Polyvagal Theory, those adaptive behavioral strategies that all mammals access to varying degrees. While the theory behind our vagus nerve’s role in emotional, relational, and fight-or-flight responses is a modern field of study, that bone-deep knowledge is ancient wisdom, according to Courtney, and has always guided our lived experience. She’s here to help us put language to that spine-tingly, unconscious knowing and become more aware of our agency in the process.
