Your Nervous System Has a Ladder. Here's How to Climb It: Polyvagal Theory in Plain English

You've heard "regulate your nervous system." But do you actually know what state yours is in right now?

In this episode, Verity Coonan breaks down polyvagal theory the way it was meant to be understood, felt, not just studied. She maps the three states that determine how safe you feel, how connected you are, and what you're actually capable of in any given moment.

Ventral vagal. Sympathetic. Dorsal vagal.

Verity walks through what each state feels like from the inside, why we move between them without choosing to, and most importantly, how to climb back up the ladder when you've dropped. Because you can't leap from shutdown to connection. And understanding why that is changes everything.The three nervous system states and what each one actually feels like in the body. Why the woman who never has enough time is almost always in sympathetic activation. The dorsal vagal state, what it is, why it happens, and why it is not weakness. Why you can't think your way back to feeling safe. Practical tools for moving up the ladder from wherever you are right now.
