I just finished reading the book, The Polyvagal World, and it's so life changing! Thank you so much Dr. Porges for your work, I'm so touched by it and I'm beyond excited to integrate what i have learned from you work into my personal life and my professional work as a clinical therapist.
Thank you for this amazing podcast!!! I find this fascinating. I’m a bodyworker and recently teach touch techniques for application on the aged. I wonder if he could speak about polyvagal theory for that sector of the population. I found that when treating my mum who had dementia- the moment I was massaging her face /head area, she changed dramatically. She loved it and just soaked it up. Together with using other remedial techniques, Over time her dysphagia also improved dramatically. Now I know that it was also her Social nervous system stimulated and nourished! I was into the “ventral vagal without knowing it/naming it. I also maintained constant face to face contact (no horrible mask like all the staff were wearing). Ooooh this is an exciting field! I hope Stephen might share his view on the elderly too.

❤ thank you for this amazing conversation
Where would I find more information on the fawn response and how it relates to dissociation & appeasement?
