Welcome to part 5 of the Polyvagal 101 series. I'm covering some foundational elements of Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory. This episode looks at the mixed state of Freeze. You are now part of an audio master class in the Polyvagal Theory!
My Polyvagal 101 online course will teach you the Polyvagal Theory accurately and simply in under 2 hours and connect it to trauma. You'll have the knowledge necessary to reduce your self-shaming, blaming and judging and be able to build yourself a new narrative that is normalizing and validating.
