JULY FREEBIE - Polyvagal theory, Automatic nervous system hierarchy ladder POSTER
Navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging, especially when our bodies react to stress in ways we don't fully understand. As women, educators, and therapists, you know how important it is to stay grounded and calm, not just for yourself but for those who rely on you. That’s where understanding the Polyvagal Theory can make a huge difference.
Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, explains how our autonomic nervous system regulates our responses to stress and safety. It’s all about how we react—sometimes we're in fight-or-flight mode, other times we shut down, and hopefully, we find ourselves in a calm and connected state. Knowing where you are on this hierarchy can help you better manage your reactions and support those around you.
Let’s embrace this knowledge to enhance our well-being and the well-being of those we support. By understanding our nervous system, we can create a more resilient and compassionate environment for everyone.
Take a moment for yourself, download the poster, and remember—you have the power to create calm and connection in your life.
