Befriending Your Nervous System Through Polyvagal Theory | Deb Dana: Take a Moment Guided Meditation
“In this illuminating video, clinician, consultant, and author Deb Dana introduces the life-transforming power of healing by honoring the role of our nervous system. Drawing from Polyvagal Theory, Dana explains the three states of the autonomic nervous system: Ventral, Sympathetic, and Dorsal.
She shares how understanding this hierarchy can help us navigate intense experiences with more self-compassion. Dana also offers the "React, Return, Respect, Reflect" practice to explore our nervous system responses and build resilience.

Through her work as a clinician and Polyvagal Theory expert, Dana has developed the Rhythm of Regulation Clinical Training Series and lectures internationally on ways Polyvagal Theory informs trauma healing. She is a founding member of the Polyvagal Institute. If you want to build a healthier relationship with your nervous system and move from states of anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown into connection, groundedness, and safety, this video offers a powerful roadmap.

Hi, I'm Yasmine, a Jungian art therapist and facilitator. I help you explore the psyche through creative expression and hands-on techniques so that you can understand the symbolic language of the soul and gain deeper connection to your authentic self. I have worked in my private practice since 2019. I have a MA in Art, Psyche and the Creative Imagination (TUS, Ireland), an interdisciplinary arts-based program with an emphasis in depth psychology, partnered by ISAP Zurich. In addition, I have a certificate in expressive arts therapy and a MA in Applied Art and Design. Although my work is rooted in the principles of depth-psychology, I strive to bring these theories to life, enabling us to move beyond intellectual understanding to truly living and experiencing our own creative power and the profound wisdom of our unconscious.

Description
Neurobiology has taught us that we need to “come to our senses” in developing effective components for addressing trauma. Expressive arts therapy releases the potential of the senses to “tell the story” of traumatic experiences via nonverbal, implicit forms of communication. It helps people discover just what forms of expression will be self-regulating, communicate their experiences in reparative ways, imagine restorative narratives, and ultimately support recovery. The expressive arts have a unique role in restoring a sense of vitality and joy in traumatized individuals because aliveness is not something we can be “talked into.” Instead, it is experienced in both mind and body and particularly on a somatosensory level. Cathy A. Malchiodi, PhD, holds a doctorate in Psychology with a specialization in research and health psychology, and is a clinical mental health counselor, and expressive arts therapist who has spent over 30 years working with individuals with traumatic stress.
