This is such a great overview Faye. I have looked at polyvagel theory before, but it was so helpful for me to see again the patterns and circumstances that created the nervous system I lived with for so long. I believe that nervous system is getting healthier. That’s a big deal!

It is a big deal! Hooray! I'm so happy for you.

I'm glad this was helpful for you, Emily. Those moments of noticing, wow, how things have changed, are simple, but can create momentous ripples. And I think the impact becomes even greater when we do have the foundational understanding and language of the nervous system. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, it certainly does help to have the understanding and the context. I’m in midlife and beginning to work pretty seriously with a nervous system that wants me to rest. Figuring out how to do that in the midst of a lot of responsibility and complexity is interesting. But I am listening to see where this new season takes me.
