In this week’s video, I share a short clip from one of my special topic lectures on the polyvagal theory that took place earlier this year (this is the full lecture). This short segment speaks to how we navigate stress and traumatic experiences based on something called a [...]
Today I have a short video for you on why simply slowing down our breath to calm our nervous system and reset it isn’t enough, and why it (often) doesn’t work. There’s so much myth and misinformation out there, so today, I’m setting it straight! This piece was [...]
