Terapide Polivagal Teori

Polivagal Theory in Therapy Book Description My two-year-old daughter, Iris, recently started coloring. He was drawing birds, fish and whales that all looked alike. One morning he drew a whale and said, "The whale is sad." I asked what the whale needed to feel better and he said, "He needs another whale looking after him." Then he asked me to draw another whale looking at his whale. I asked him how the sad whale was feeling now and he said, "He's feeling better." We are social beings by nature, it is in our nature to interact and relate to others. We instinctively need to be in harmonious relationships with others from the first moments of life until the end of life. With this book, Deb Dana expertly brings the neurobiologically based Polyvagal Theory to clinical practice. It offers a comprehensive approach to interventions for safety by mapping autonomic responses and shaping the autonomic nervous system. Through the ideas presented, you will discover how using Polyvagal Theory in therapy can increase the effectiveness of your clinical work with clients with trauma histories. In this process, both your therapy practices and the way you see and exist in the world will change. You will be able to understand the impact of the autonomic nervous system in shaping your life and carry the Polivagal Theory into both your daily life and therapy practices.
