Transform Your Reactions to Life’s Challenges and Stressors
Have you ever been in a situation where you feel uncertain or anxious but aren’t sure why? You may not realize it, but we’re constantly bombarded by social cues in our environment, often leading to stress and overwhelm. In Finding Safety in Your Nervous System, Deb Dana provides a valuable blueprint for building resilience and finding safety during the many ups and downs of life.
Deb Dana, LCSW, is a clinician and consultant specializing in using the lens of Polyvagal Theory to understand and resolve the impact of trauma and create ways of working that honor the role of the autonomic nervous system. She developed the Rhythm of Regulation Clinical Training Series and lectures internationally on ways Polyvagal Theory informs work with trauma survivors. She is a founding member of the Polyvagal Institute, clinical advisor to Khiron Clinics, and an advisor to Unyte. Deb’s clinical publications include The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy: Engaging the Rhythm of Regulation and the Polyvagal Flip Chart. Deb is delighted to partner with Sounds True to bring her polyvagal perspective to a general audience through Befriending Your Nervous System: Looking Through the Lens of Polyvagal Theory and her forthcoming book Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory.

Very interesting, I suppose this is why exercises like chi gong and tai chi are really beneficial to our nervous system.

im starting to do this as after i access my body through moving, it naturally starts to create thai chi movements even thought ive never done it before
Wow! I have just started listening to”Anchored” and now this. I am some years, alot of years actually ,into my healing. I have FINALLY hit home. You are one of my discoveries that resonate immencley with me and my healing. And these exercises 🙌🏻 Im mind blown. Feels like heaven. All of a sudden. So clear. Thank you 💖🍀✨
Thank you very much for this video. It helps a lot.
That’s so wonderful that someone has finally explained that the body feels threatened sometimes when in movement. And I feel calm and joyful after those exercises. That you so much!
Her voice is so soothing to me. Almost like ASMR at times. Thank you Deb Dana for all you do.
I feel so much gratitude for finding your channel! I am a yoga teacher & Reiki master & work with many clients in pain or recovering from a painful experience. I, too, am learning that much of my chronic pain, hypermobility EDS, Crohn's Disease, Celiac Disease is related to my nervous system. I will be watching, practicing, & studying much with you for myself & my clients! 🤗
Thank You Deb. I am so happy to be able to use and share this wonderful wisdom.
Thank you for sharing this. I love the work of Deb Dana and Stephen Porges, read the books and it's so good to see, how she work. ❤🙏
Thank you for sharing this awesome lesson and excercise. I notice my palms are upturned for vagal, palms are pointing downwards for sympathetic, and palms are placed over my heart/thymus for dorsal as if keeping my own energy spiraling within.
wonderful suggestions! Thank you - so helpful
Wow! So helpful as I am very good at imagining myself dancing with vitality and life but not that good yet at the enacting part.
Thank you so much🙏
You get in life what you have the courage to ask for. Much Love from a Law Of Attraction KZreadr 💜
Phenomenal thank you
This was beautiful
The sympathetic for digestion movement feels so good I like it a lot I don’t even know why
While listening „The wave“ of Gabrielle Roth came into my mind, which I practiced a lot, but years ago… I remember it as a full body exercise into 5 different „interior states“ and transferring them into body movements. It was very helpful and clearing….Perhaps I should give them a try again 😊
Thank you for this beautiful video Dr Dana. 🙏🏻

Healing Happens 💞 Hang in there. I was born with Lyme and have healed myself. It took a lot of shifting my inner world ans emotions. Check out Metaphysical Anatomy by Evette Rose. She's on KZread too. Learn the emotional root of each symptoms, then do the emotional work to shift and heal that would. Heal the wound and the symptoms go away. It's magical. Also, do parasite cleanses if you haven't already been doing so. 💞💚🙏

@@Misfit.Sanctuary thx I looked her up. Which book teaches the MAT technique? I’m Not sure if it’s vol 1 or 2 ? That’s all I could afford right now.
Moving by myself is scary!! I also have a very hard time moving, I experience a lot of anxiety.
if being relieved that you are older and its almost over makes you feel better, does your nervous system read it as threat?
What does "dorsal" and "ventral" mean?

This comes from the polyvagal theory (Stephan Porges, and here, Deb Dana). Hope it helps☺️

For sleep we can imagine too?😮
I'm not understanding the language.

The language is based in Polyvagal theory. If you search online images for "Polyvagal chart Ruby Jo Walker" you will find a 3 colored chart that shows at a glance the 3 states of ventral vagus, sympathetic and dorsal vagus. Each state has corresponding emotions/experiences and physiological influences. I hope that helps!

Huh?
I find the instruction very confusing. So we’re supposed to create our own movement, not copy hers? So what is the description of what’s required, if anything, for these to be effective? And are we trying to embody these states within the movements, or trying to process them to assist ourselves? As what’s clearly a clip from a longer teaching, this is without context, and is thus way too open to interpretation and especially misinterpretation. Irresponsible post in an open social media environment. How typical of Sounds True.
