Description

In this week's Mojo Monday, Carly Taylor delves into the intricacies of the nervous system through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, developed by Steven Porges and practically interpreted by Deb Dana. Carly explains the three distinct parts of the autonomic nervous system: the ventral vagal (calm and social engagement), sympathetic (fight or flight), and dorsal vagal (shutdown and collapse). She describes how we constantly move up and down this 'ladder' in response to various stimuli, and offers practical tips for regulating our nervous system. Carly emphasises the importance of understanding these states to better manage our responses and improve overall well-being.
