What Is Polyvagal Therapy?

Polyvagal Therapy is designed to help you understand and work with the autonomic nervous system, which governs responses to stress and safety.

Through this therapy, clients learn to:

• Recognize bodily signals related to stress or dysregulation

• Increase awareness of emotional and physiological states

• Strengthen the nervous system’s ability to return to calm after stress

• Build skills for self-soothing and emotional regulation

• Enhance connection with others and restore feelings of safety

This approach is particularly effective for those whose trauma, anxiety, or overwhelm is expressed physically as well as emotionally.

Polyvagal Therapy can support teens, adults, and young adults experiencing:

• Trauma or complex trauma
