Just in the opening words I recognised the theme of my long life, in which there's been significant trauma of one sort or another - 'don't let anyone get too close, don't give too much away, you'll become vulnerable and under threat and unable to survive'.
Thank you, Dr. Porges, and thank you, Mark for this contribution to the world of PVT and healing. I'm a biologist and (recovering) engineer, turned coach. I've been studying PVT (and the SSP), and trauma, and IFS, and somatic mindfulness for several years. Along the way, I've absorbed probably 50 interviews with Dr. Porges. All of them have been informative, but Dr. Porges was particularly "on" in this one, and Mark was spacious, allowing Stephen to riff and go down some really nuanced rabbit holes. I'm writing this msg as I watch the conversation for the third time in as many months (both here and on your channel, Mark). Am super appreciative! Kind and respectful regards, gentlemen. And happy parenting, Mark! - Richard "Tomorrow's mastery (and mystery) begins with mental (and embodied!) calm today."
Thank you so much, what a great interview! When we cross Dr Porges and Dr Maté's books we do wanna explore polyvagal theory for inflammatory and autoimmune deseases, thank you for bringing this topic here!
Thank you for this wonderful interview! I admire Dr. Porges's work immensely and with so much gratitude. He mentioned, regarding human evaluation, religion, education, and medicine. I used to consider these fields sacred, sacred jobs, all having to do with caring for the human soul, mind, and body. Now I understand how easy it is to break a human, just consider the most vulnerable aspects . One would think they are working together to put back the whole human being. Instead, looks like they are fighting over, every one wants its piece of this poor human being. Thank you again! ❤
Such a great interview! I also had the amazing honor to talk with Dr Porges on my pod the Integrated Man Project!

I Love PolyVagal Theory & Stephen Porges! I've already given up social media

We lived in Thailand from the USA and were impressed that the Thai culture does not evaluate or judge…they seem to practice a peaceful mind (?)
