Self-Regulation & Finding Safety in Your Nervous System with Deb Dana | Mindful Discoveries

The autonomic nervous system is at the heart of our lived experience. It's where everything begins. It's the platform that is created for our thoughts, our feelings, our actions, our stories. And with a regulated nervous system, a flexible nervous system, a nervous system that can be flexible, can dysregulate, can meet the challenges of the day and keep us anchored in that place of safety, we have a lot of physical and physiological benefits.
Deb Dana, LCSW, is a clinician and consultant specializing in using the lens of Polyvagal Theory to understand and resolve the impact of trauma and create ways of working that honor the role of the autonomic nervous system. She developed the Rhythm of Regulation Clinical Training Series and lectures internationally on ways Polyvagal Theory informs work with trauma survivors.

Thanks!
Can you bring out wise words without a loud background of electronic music? Silence between words is holy.

At nearly fifty-seven, my CNS is as calm as it’s been since I was a child, at what age, I can’t say.

[@yukio_saito]

I love this explanation ❤

[@ronnellmacklinJr]

Very interesting.

[@LucyBarnes-jq2hf]

Thank you I am in the middle of a nervous breakdown my nerves are shot to pieces I am stuttering and no control 😢

[@Dymphna06]

This music is terrible. So dark and distracting. Contributes to anxiety.

[@dr.davidgerstenaminoacidth2421]

I didn’t really notice but it’s dissonant and in a minor key, which predisposes to mystery or melancholy. A major key using life instruments would lead to different responses.

If you are not aware of your anxyeti the other will be that and controll you by that.
Relaxa and Hugh all part of you and be aware of your resistence❤

I was crying by the second picture. It was a mix of joy and melancholy. What is my nervous system telling me? 🥹
