Observe Your Nervous System

The Polyvagal Theory is a neurophysiological model that explains how the autonomic nervous system regulates our responses to internal and external stimuli (like stressors!). <br>This theory posits that the autonomic nervous system operates in a hierarchical manner, with three primary states: social engagement, fight-or-flight, and immobilization. <br>These states are influenced by our perception of safety and danger, and they shape our emotional experiences and behaviors.
