This session is particularly special as we celebrate the release of three groundbreaking Polyvagal books this winter: * Twenty Embodied Practices for Healing Trauma and Addiction by Jan Winhall https://janwinhall.com/20-embodied-practices/ * Somatic-Oriented Therapies https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324052722?promo=SOT20 * Polyvagal Perspectives: Interventions, Practices, and Strategies https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324053408 Also coming up are the Community Practice Groups which are based on Jan's new book mentioned above: https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/items/community-practice-groups Register to attend a free Author Talk and Info Session about this offering: https://events.zoom.us/ev/AlvHAppAU2EEytE9hhOhlgLTTlw_dk_mFP4Zm2LQ1RNlzggtVyv7~AnoYBhKMeJMEnyruwB0dXfLFlrkMfZQ1WZfE9qa2xmdGjQ4LZ0pjpCvzwg One of the many qualities I admire about Steve Porges is his unwavering commitment to accessibility. As I become busier with a public lifestyle, I find myself challenged by the desire to reach out and the need to contain. Steve’s ability to stay connected, respond to emails, listen deeply, and maintain a safe presence amidst his growing popularity is truly inspiring. Steve starts with opening up about his personal musings on cats and the unique ways they co-regulate with humans, offering insights that might just change the way you view your feline friends. We dive deep into the profound concepts of safety in the body and the transformative nature of feeling truly secure. Among many other things we touch upon the significance of feedback loops in therapy and life, and how interoception—the awareness of our bodily states—plays a crucial role in healing trauma and addiction. It's a dialogue brimming with warmth, insight, and a little humor, inviting you to pause, reflect, and embrace the wisdom shared. Through Steve’s stories and reflections, I hope your understanding of polyvagal theory and its practical applications expands.
