The Pelvic Floor and It's Relationship to Healing Freeze, Dissociation, and Shame
Trauma Rewired
The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Trauma and Pelvic FloorGrounding
The vagus nerve consists of two branches - the dorsal branch, responsible for activating the parasympathetic response, promoting relaxation and grounding in the pelvic bowl, as well as the freeze response during trauma; and the ventral branch, which fosters safety, connection, and co-regulation. Trauma, including relational trauma, can affect the pelvic floor by disrupting the dorsal branch's function, leading to a freeze response and dissociation in the pelvic bowl. This freeze response can be triggered by events like birth injuries, boundary violations, accidents, sexual assault, and pelvic floor injuries, resulting in clients dealing with issues related to trauma and pelvic floor dysfunction.
