Exploring Polyvagal Theory: A Holiday Survival Guide for your Nervous System

Every one of us has a nervous system and every one of us will no doubt face some flavor of emotional challenges over the holidays.  In this episode, we discuss the three states of the autonomic nervous system and how to navigate your own desires to fight, flee, or disconnect. Listen in to this insightful conversation between colleagues that brings a polyvagal approach to family gatherings.  I am sure you will resonate with a shared example or two.

In this organic series, Health educator and Gemmotherapy expert Lauren Hubele, Japanese Acupuncturist Maegan Lemp and Passionate Polyvagalist Cameron Scott explore the use of the Polyvagal Theory and Gemmotherapy extracts to restore a sense of safety and connection. The polyvagal theory helps us see and understand emotional patterns enough to interrupt them and change how we habitually react.


Exploring the Polyvagal Lens: Our individualized responses to loss

The understanding of loss has greatly matured since Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’s pioneering work of the late 60’s.  Since then it is universally accepted that loss is not a linear process.   However now with the information of Polyvagal Theory,  the autonomic responses are worth reviewing.  The subject of loss could not be more timely as we have all navigated major and minor losses this past year. Loss has shown up in a variety of shapes and textures from the heartwrenching loss of loved ones or the simple loss of a treasured daily routine. In this candid conversation with co-hosts Maegan Lemp and Cameron Scott, we allow the story of the loss to drop and instead take a close look at the possible felt experiences.

In this organic series of conversations, Health educator and Gemmotherapy expert Lauren Hubele, Japanese Acupuncturist Maegan Lemp and Passionate Polyvagalist Cameron Scott explore the use of the Polyvagal Theory and Gemmotherapy extracts to restore a sense of safety and connection. The polyvagal theory helps us see and understand emotional patterns enough to interrupt them and change how we habitually react.

Exploring Polyvagal Theory: Are you disconnecting?

How do you know if your autonomic nervous system has dropped into the dorsal state? A fundamental question for today, as the challenges faced personally and as a community, may leave you emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed.

The biggest problem with the dorsal vagal state is that the access to the very resources that can help is lost. Befriending this state and having tools within an arm’s reach is what today’s conversation is all about. So grab some tea, and of course, a furry friend if you have one, and settle in for some healthy co-regulation. You won’t want to miss these tips and tools for navigating your way back to a ventral state of connection.

How has 2020 treated your digestive system?  Not so great you say?  Even if your system was stellar before the start of the year I would agree there is far too much to digest.  But what about this thought.
