Polyvagal-Informed Therapy

🧠 Overview

Polyvagal-Informed Therapy (PVT) is based on Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, which maps how your autonomic nervous system (ANS) shifts between safety, danger, and shutdown. Instead of labeling reactions as “good” or “bad,” PVT helps you understand how your physiology responds to cues of safety or threat — and how to gently guide your system back into regulation.

It’s like learning the user manual for your body’s wiring system — except instead of rebooting a computer, you’re rebooting your sense of safety.
