Dr Stephen Porges on Polyvagal Theory | Re-Release

03/23/24 • 61 min

This episode - one of my favourites! - first aired in 2021. I thought it deserved a bump not just because of the guest (Dr Porges is an amazing researcher and visionary) but because more people need to know about how their nervous system is impacted by stress, especially after COVID.
Dr Stephen Porges discusses Polyvagal Theory, stress and anxiety, PTSD and COVID-19, and how to heal.
You can find out more about Dr. Porges on his websites https://www.stephenporges.com/ and https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/

Timeline Therapy | Step-by-Step Instructions | Guided by Emil Barna

This therapy protocol was adapted from and expands Forrest Knutson's ‘Time Line Therapy Walkthrough’ (find it here)
I also integrated other works into this protocol, namely, aspects you can find in Deb Dana's The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy, Dr Joe Dispenza's You Are the Placebo, Dr Norman Doidge's The Brain’s Way of Healing and Dr Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems Therapy
This Timeline Therapy protocol guides you through the process of overcoming stressful events and memories using your imagination. Therapies and exercises like this help relax your nervous system while tapping into other parts of the brain, namely the brain’s visualisation networks, to promote neuroplasticity—your brain’s ability to change and grow.
Recorded by psychotherapist Emil Barna.
