The Polyvagal Path: Healing Trauma with Dr. Steve Porges

Episode Overview

  • Dr. Aimie continues the discussion with Dr. Steve Porges on the influence of the polyvagal lens on trauma
  • Insights into neuroception and the impact of trauma on preterm babies' physiology
  • Emphasis on the significance of state regulation in trauma recovery
  • Understanding the role of the autonomic nervous system in building resilience and rewiring for safety
  • Dr. Aimie's approach prioritises creating a felt sense of safety for individuals to heal from the chronic effects of trauma
I feel that our natural state is to feel safe in the arms of another, and that we can develop strategies to lead us along that journey and path.
Ever wondered why trauma makes it so hard to feel safe? In this episode, Dr. Aimie teams up with Dr. Steve Porges, the brain behind the polyvagal theory, to break down how our bodies react to trauma and what we can do about it. They dive into neuroception, which is our body's way of detecting safety or danger, and how it plays a crucial role in trauma recovery. Dr.
Porges also shares fascinating insights on the experiences of preterm babies and the importance of state regulation in healing from trauma. The conversation is all about understanding the body's signals and creating a sense of safety, which is essential for building resilience and rewiring the nervous system. If you're curious about how trauma affects your body and looking for practical ways to heal, this episode offers a treasure trove of knowledge and actionable advice.
