April 09, 20199. Attachment, Generational Trauma & the Polyvagal Theory
Attachment is integral to the mechanics of how generational trauma is actually passed on. I take a look at this through the lens of the amazing polyvagal theory (but you probably know that by now).
My Polyvagal 101 online course will teach you the Polyvagal Theory accurately and simply in under 2 hours and connect it to trauma. You'll have the knowledge necessary to reduce your self-shaming, blaming and judging and be able to build yourself a new narrative that is normalizing and validating.
