My therapist told me about a great author during our session this week.

Her name is Deb Dana.

She founded polyvagal theory and she has written a few books on the subject.

I bought three of them for myself.

Polyvagal theory is a particular practice to help calm the nervous system, regain safety, and connection.

Eileen has been incorporating some of the polyvagal theory exercises in our work.

Its very interesting, and I am excited to read Deb Dana’s books.

The more I can learn about how my nervous system reacts, and how it is treated during therapy is beneficial to me.
