35: When Trauma has Made it Unsafe to Feel Safe, What do We do? Neuroception, Vagal Efficiency and Neuroplasticity - How does Polyvagal Lens Influence Trauma Work?

Last week’s episode (Episode 34) was Part 1 in my discussion with Dr. Steve Porges, founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium and professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, focusing on what the polyvagal lens says about attachment, freeze, and functional diseases (like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, and even COVID) and the first step - becoming a witness to our body and safety. In Part 2, we will pick up the last minute of the previous episode and then go into five specific things that show the influence the polyvagal lens has on trauma work and what we can do when trauma has made it unsafe to feel safe.   Want to learn more about this episode?
