Ask Me Anything (AMA) with Stephen Porges - February 3 2022

About the Felt Sense Polyvagal Approach to Trauma & Addiction Group
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Felt Sense Polyvagal Approach to Trauma & Addiction Group is a place for you to explore with others, through a polyvagal lens, the experiences of trauma and addiction. We are focusing on understanding addiction through the lens of the nervous system, as an adaptive response to maladaptive environments. This group is growing in leaps and bounds indicating a hunger for change, for the kind of transformative change that polyvagal theory brings us. The group interacts online in the Polyvagal Institute Community on Mighty Network. Once every few weeks the group meets live on Zoom for an hour of exploration and discussion with a guest presenter.

❤ what a wonderful conversation thank you so much for sharing it! I have to become a student of Polyvagal theory and I love it. I am coming home after decades of studying and struggling through my life and professional life. ❤

I was delighted to discover your work via the Holistic recovery summit! You asked Stephen there about blended states, and especially trancelike state (that happens in addictions, and body focused repetitive behaviors as kind of immobilized zoning out) as one that can be numbing but also spiritual/transcendental experience - as in meditation. The difference between those two are not completely clear to me, but I'm eager to dive into your work more, thank you🙏

Living relationship with a living, personal. Omniscient God is the foundation of safety. "Even if mother and father abandon me, the Lord will take me in." Psalm 27:10
