Unlocking Calm and Connection: Dr. Stephanie Cordes on Polyvagal Theory

It's important usually to get acupuncture more than once a week for most of the things we see, and that's just not doable in a one-on-one situation.
Imagine if you could tap into your body's natural ability to feel safe and connected, even in stressful times. In this episode of 'The Good Mood Podcast', Dr. Talia Marcheggiani sits down with Dr. Stephanie Cordes, a naturopathic doctor who is passionate about Polyvagal Theory. Together, they dive into the fascinating world of the vagus nerve and its role in our stress responses—whether it's fight, flight, or the lesser-known shutdown mode. Dr.
Cordes explains how stimulating the ventral vagal response can help us achieve a state of calm and social engagement, crucial for healing from trauma and preventing burnout. She introduces the concept of the '3 C's'—context, choice, and connection—based on Deb Dana's work, as tools to cultivate a sense of safety. Ever thought acupuncture could send soothing signals to your nervous system? Well, it can! Dr. Cordes shares her insights on how bodywork like acupuncture can aid in emotional regulation.
But that's not all. The conversation also touches on somatic psychotherapy and Attachment Theory, providing a holistic view of mental health. Dr. Cordes's down-to-earth approach makes complex topics accessible and engaging. Whether you're new to Polyvagal Theory or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers practical advice and fresh perspectives. Perfect for anyone interested in mental wellness, naturopathic medicine, or just looking for ways to feel more connected and less stressed, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in and discover how you can create a calmer, more connected nervous system.
