Point of Relation with Thomas Huebl

Dr. Stephen Porges | Safety, Connection, and Polyvagal Theory


Listen Later

What is Polyvagal Theory and how does it explain the science of feelings?

This week, Thomas sits down with Dr. Stephen Porges, a professor, author, and the originator of Polyvagal Theory.

Dr. Porges’ theory offers radical yet practical methods for calming our physical (or “biobehavioral”) states so that our mind can follow suit. Traditionally, the opposite approach has been the norm, but research increasingly indicates that the body should lead the charge.

In this conversation, it’s made clear that safety, connection, and co-regulation are essential for this type of nervous system regulation. Thomas and Dr. Porges explore what’s needed to create an environment that supports healing, and how Polyvagal Theory enhances our ability to handle crises and heal trauma, anxiety, and physical ailments linked to nervous system dysregulation.

Dr. Porges also shares a cutting-edge acoustic technique for trauma healing that could lead to a real paradigm shift in psychology and therapy.
