The Polyvagal Theory of Trauma
“Trauma is a pervasive fact of modern life,” Peter Levine wrote in his 1997 book Waking The Tiger: Healing Trauma. “Most of us have been traumatized, not just soldiers or victims of abuse or attack. Both the sources and consequences of trauma are wide-ranging and often hidden from our awareness.”
In a nutshell, this is the “Polyvagal Theory,” a collection of evolutionary, neuroscientific, and psychological constructs about the vagus nerve’s role in emotion regulation, social connection, and fear response, introduced in 1994 by American psychologist and neuroscientist Stephen Porges.
