We are wired for connection, from the very first moment we come into existence. In this episode we start to explore the Polyvagal Theory (PVT). As explained by Deb Dana and following the theory of Stephen Porges, the PVT has 3 organising principles: 1. Co-regulation- Biological imperative. We don’t survive as human without another human to coregulate it. 2. Neuroception- Detection without awareness. How our nervous system takes information without the brain being involved. 3. Hieriary- 3 Predictable pathways of response: ventral vagal, sympathetic nervous sytem and dorsal vagal. Today we look at what Co-regulation is!
