Polyvagal Safety
Book • 2021
In Polyvagal Safety, Stephen Porges expands on polyvagal theory to explain how our autonomic state shapes attachment, communication, and the capacity to self-regulate.
The book emphasizes the biological foundations of feeling safe and how social engagement systems can support physiological regulation.
Porges describes practical implications for clinical work, interpersonal relationships, and everyday practices that promote safety.
He integrates neuroscience, evolutionary theory, and clinical observations to show how safety cues modulate health and behavior.
The book aims to give clinicians and readers a framework to recognize and shift autonomic states toward safety and connection.
