Intro

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week’s episode features a beloved returning guest and a first time guest speaking about practical uses of Polyvagal Theory for therapists and anyone who wants to benefit from this valuable work. My guests today are Deb Dana, LCSW and Courtney Rolfe, LCPC, who co-authored the new book, Polyvagal Prompts: finding connection and joy through guided explorations. I was together with these 2 wonderful teachers just recently in Germany and England. By chance, Courtney and I were invited to the same dinner and a relationship that began with a podcast interview has become a friendship, luckily for me! I’m so grateful for the work that Deb and Courtney are doing to make Polyvagal Theory available for everyone’s use on our healing journeys!
