Shaking and bouncing is an amazing way to release tension from our body and reset the nervous system.

If we can begin to understand how Polyvagal Theory works with the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), we can learn how to better navigate our stress response in our daily life. I love the phrase: “If we don't know where we are, we don't know what we need.” Identifying where we are on the ANS stress response system is key to knowing what we need in order to respond more effectively. Learning these concepts is key so we can begin to enhance our ability to self-soothe, co-regulate and move through the world with more ease. In this free video, I share a clip from my Ethics of Trauma-Informed Care training as an introduction into the concept of Polyvagal Theory as it relates to therapy.
