How can the body become a resource for a patient who’s experienced trauma? Polyvagal Theory helps us answer this question by explaining how people process their environment and how the body regulates itself in the face of stress and trauma.
Watch the video below as Stephen Porges, PhD shares one way to apply Polyvagal Theory when working with the body’s responses to traumatic triggers and stressful events.
You can learn more about polyvagal theory in our course Why the Vagal System Holds the Key to the Treatment of Trauma.

Good information for the public. But I have to say, that none of this information is particularly new at all, yet some of these researchers and therapists think it is. They are just using different language and elaborated on new research.

Dear Ruth,
I work as a counselor with kids who are incarcerated in the Juvenile Justice Detention Center in Miami and, as you know, most of these kids have been severely traumatized. They have witnessed so much violence and rage and hopelessness in their young lives and, with no emotional support to teach them how to deal with the fear and anger they are experiencing in a healthy manner, they turn to drugs to dampen the pain and to escape for awhile.
I would love to learn some skills to really help these kids.
Thank you.
