I was confused a bit in the beginning, but you summed it all up really well by midway and then the recap was helpful. The visuals are really helpful, as well. I'd love to see more graphics on the nervous system along with your videos, because I need more than just auditory to really understand a complex topic like this. Overall, this was extremely helpful in understanding the different branches. Also, I think the way you speak is wonderful and clear. This topic is just a doozy. Thank you so much for all you do!
Rachel Roberts, Jen here from team Lyon. Great to hear that the recap was helpful for you and that the video helped to support your understanding of the different nervous system branches! Thanks for your feedback too about the graphics. I'll pass it along.
I love being your student and learn from your wisdom Irene! This video was for me a great summary of all the important aspects, after learning from you already the second year. For beginners I think it is to much information in once and visual slides could be very helpful for the understanding of all the different branches. I give this feedback in Love and Gratitude, because I know how it is to feel new to this knowledge! Thank you for your outstanding, awesome work Irene and Team! Forever grateful! ❤
Waterangel Medicine, it's good to hear that you're enjoying learning from Irene and found this video helpful. Thanks for your feedback about the visual slides. I'll pass it along to the Team. - Jen from Team Lyon
amazing video on a complex topic, this made so much sense after working in this field learning for years. We have to un learn old beliefs make room for learning new information
I appreciate that Irene has tried to explain as best as she could. It did help me a lot to understand it in general lines. I'm on the waiting list for an audiobook on this subject but I was feeling very intimidated by the topic and unsure I was going to pull through the audiobook at all. Now she's switched me to a different branch of the nerve, hahaha, really, and I feel more at ease about it and more like I can do it and be successful. Thanks, Irene!
One recommendation: Neurofeedback therapy helped me get “on my feet” again in terms of my nervous system! I can only recommend. Fast and very effective!
I love your content. It’s been helping me understand my adrenal fatigue. I wonder if it’s bc it’s 4:30am or maybe this video would be easier to understand with visual slides. Or maybe I need to just write it down 😅
Hello Irene, Thank you for this video. I have read though that the freeze and collapse response belong to different branches, SNS and PNS respectively. With freeze the heart rate is high and with collapse it's low. Would appreciate some clarification if any. 😊
@parisaforpeace - Mara here with Team Lyon. A good way to get more info on how the different parts of the nervous system work is with the Healing Trauma video series. You can find it here: irenelyon.com/healing-trauma-training-2022
Wow, thank you!! Finally i got my confusion out of my head!! You explained it really well! I am even working with a polyvagal technique to release trauma, but i never knew the rest and digest is actually dorsal!!! To me it was tought as ventral. Thank you sooo much ❤🙏🙏🙏
Hi Transformational Journey, Jen here from Team Lyon. Great to hear this was so helpful! To add one point of clarification, both low-tone dorsal vagal and ventral vagal physiologies support rest and digest.
@@IreneLyon Thank you for your reply! So high or low dorsal is still the same nerve, physically right? Or are these 2 different branches?? Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
@@somatische-integration , yes, you've got it. High and low tone dorsal vagal both refer to the one dorsal vagal nerve branch. Tone refers to how much the nerve is "on" (so to speak). - Jen from Team Lyon
Irene I want to thank you very much for your work and humbly give a little bit of feedback. I am in your 21 days course and the knowledge you provide is great! But my very first impression was that you "talk too much". I wondered what that means specifically. And I guess I mean that you talk in a way where it is not clear for my attention to get the important points. My HUMBLE advice would be - if you are interested: relax make pauses after important points reduce information redundancy try to express things more short and to the point have a clearer structure and when you are done, you are done and the video can end (no shame in short videos! The content speaks for itself!) maybe tell illustrating stories from your own experiences where fitting emphasize on important points with your voice I hope this helps and I hope it doesn't come across as arrogant or unappreciative.
The pace is to fast for my ns, it feels rushed and disorienting to me. I love your content and teachings, couldn’t settle and take in the content this time. I was also looking for a video I might share with family members who are new to this topic.
Bailey here from Team Lyon. If you click on the little gear in the bottom right of the video, you can change the playback speed and slow down the video. This might help. Also, I encourage anyone who is new to the work to check out Irene's New Here page. Here is the link: irenelyon.com/new-here/. When you head over to this page, it will ask you if you want to sign up for A Field Guide to Your Nervous System (it's FREE). This fieldguide walks you through, step by step, providing videos along the way. This is a great place to begin!
Irene has a really good article about sparking up social engagement in small ways, I don’t remember which one it was (it was one of the pdfs on her site, maybe someone from her team could find it…). What I remember is that it doesn’t need to be long sit down conversations with people we know well, if that’s not possible. It can also be from connecting with nature (even plants in your home or a tree outside your window), or a pet, or by making eye contact with people you walk past. Shop workers was another one I remember. I appreciate how hard it is when you have CFS, I do too. I’ve recently moved to somewhere on the ground floor where I can see lots of people walk by my window and that has been helpful.
pablo w, Jen here from Team Lyon. I'm not sure what you're asking here? This work centers around people getting to know their nervous system, and learning how to listen to and support it. This can include imagines, memories, or content at times. We do often find that when there's a lot of cognitive activity, it can be a response to the underlying nervous system state. Hope this helps to answer your question.
val down, Jen here from Team Lyon. There are different causes of neuropathy, some of which are structural. Depending on the case of the neuropathy, growing nervous system regulation and capacity may be helpful in lessening symptoms.
Your comment made me giggle 😉I had a hard time following as well and I still don't understand it properly. And, just as a side note, I wonder why it is called "theory" when they say, it is based on science?
@@sandrag9451 science is based on hypotheses and theories (e.g. Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity; The Big Bang Theory; Darwin’s Theory of Evolution) which can be tested and are capable of being proved incorrect.
O my goodness, this is the best explanation (and short, even!) I ever heard. Thank you so much Irene, this is so helpful in my healing journey!

Fantastic explanation! I love learning the biology behind how our body/mind/brain works! I now understand how my trauma is trapped inside of me.

Which youtuber could you recommend who is teaching about that?

Same for me, it stresses me out
I love Irene but sometimes there is just too much talking for my over/underrevved system to keep with and understand lol
How do you increase social ization when you're single and have no family in New city.....and have CFS that keeps you inside?

Ty Irene!❤️.
Is it possible that hypersomnia is related to this?
What about the ideas and beliefs behind the traumas and body reactions? every story is different...

does a disfunction in this polyvagal nerve cause neuropathy ?
val down, Jen here from Team Lyon. There are different causes of neuropathy, some of which are structural. Depending on the case of the neuropathy, growing nervous system regulation and capacity may be helpful in lessening symptoms.
You made this as confusing as possible
Actually she explained it very ordely
Porges The Polyvagel Theory is more academic textbook than therapy practice handbook, so summarising it in a relatively short video is no easy task
Is seems it's difference between woman and man in what is of importance and deciding one criteria above the other for summarising in shortest time.
Your comment made me giggle 😉I had a hard time following as well and I still don't understand it properly.
