The Autonomic Nervous System is our body’s autopilot and keeps our heart beating, our lungs breathing, and our gut digesting, without us even thinking about it. This 30-minute video introduces Polyvagal theory, which explains how our bodies and brains interpret the environment and the relationships around us, and respond!
The Polyvagal Theory is a relatively new understanding of how our nervous system works, and helps explain everything from trauma, to the very essence of social behaviour.
The presenter, Seth Porges (son of Stephen Porges, the originator of Polyvagal Theory), appears on numerous TV shows on the Travel, Science, Discovery, History, and National Geographic channels. He also contributes to Bloomberg Business, Instyle, Forbes, New York mag, and Departures, amongst others.
