- The Polyvagal Theory, created by Dr Lola Perez-Gavino, Clinical Psychologist; www.mindmadeeasy.com
In this video, I introduce the polyvagal theory, a revolutionary theory developed by Stephen Porges to explain why often animals and humans may not defend themselves, fight or escape when being attacked by a predator or a perpetrator, in the case of humans. The theory can help understand our responses to danger and traumatic events, and help us in our paths of recovery from trauma.
Thanks to my friend Pilar Sanchez Gomez, who helped me create the animation video. Pilar is a great photographer and you can see her work on her website: pilarsanchez.photos/
The best explanation I've seen of the Polyvagal theory in such a short video, amazing work. Thanks for taking the time to create this.
Thank you very much for the feedback. I'm glad you liked it!
Was asked to look up polyvagal theory by my councillor as I'm stuck more often than not in sympathetic, and as such suffer from anxiety. Meditating and 'being present' as often as possible while reducing interactions that remove me from that state (smartphones etc) are the strategies I'm employing to spend more time in ventral vagal!
I'm glad you've found meditation and ways of staying present helpful. It's particularly helpful if you do it when you are not too dysregulated and grounding becomes part of your routine, so that you can use your mindfulness and meditation skills when you are in a stressful situation.
This is brilliant Lola well done and thank you for putting this together! :)
Thank you Carrie! I'm glad you like it :)
A wonderful, clearly structured, presentation. Powerful proposal of steps for self-regulation in challenging or stressful situations. Applied knowledge is power. Thanks for the clarity.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
This is an exceptional video. So clear and easy to remember. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it
With children it's so hard to determine what the triggers are, always assuming their reactions are valid is imperative to help them learn to regulate their parasympathetic nervous system. Is this correct?
It may be useful to explore the patterns of those reactions to learn about the triggers. Sometimes we can manipulate and change those triggers, but often triggers just happen out of our control. In my experience, regulation strategies would be useful for both
very clear explanation . thank you. i am wondering if there are any references for those contexts please?
If you mean where can you get more information, you can look up Stephen Porges, who was the person who developed the model. In the context of therapy, Deb Dana has written extensively about the theory applied to therapy.
Thanks so much.
Thank you so much
Beautifully explained and it made me now more interested in understanding and reading about the Polyvagal Theory
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Stephen Porges is the person who developed the theory and Deb Dana has done a lot of work applying it to therapy and trauma. There are some great podcasts where you can get great summaries and insights into the theory.

Music is a bit distracting, but it was a good summary
I try to focus on the video
but every cell of my being is saturated
in grief and rage and powerlessness and shame,
leaving me tormented and paralyzed...
Dear Radical Honesty!
I SO relate to your feelings! And I have been in therapy for 13 years. It is not an easy journey! Hang in and Hang on!!

I'm really sorry to hear how difficult things are for you at the moment. I hope that you can reach out to people who can help you get through this. If you are in therapy, sometimes our feelings can be more intense for a while, before we feel better. And if you are not seeing someone to help, it may be worth trying to get that support. My best wishes to you.
Thank u

This is a great & informative video, but the twee music is unnecessary and a distraction as well as rather incongruous to the subject matter.
Thank you for the feedback.
the end- solution is too simplistic
It may sound like common sense and simplistic, and in a way, many people do it naturally. For people who have experienced trauma, particularly childhood trauma, it may be useful to work with a professional who can tailor and adapt the strategies to their needs.
Seems heavily based on Skinner's limited behaviorism of stimulus - response. It lacks cognitive volition, as usual...and assumes no metaphysical considerations. More flawed pop psychology, that seeks to excuse human accountability.
