Understanding the Impact of Trauma on the Nervous System: Unveiling the Polyvagal Theory

Dive into the nervous system's intricate workings and trauma's profound effects on our responses. Join us as we explore the polyvagal theory and how it explains the interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. Learn why trauma survivors often experience heightened or diminished reactions and how it shapes their awareness, thoughts, feelings, reactions, and relationships.
