Deb Dana: Exploring the Science of Safety and Connection
This workshop was recorded inside Rooted in August 2020 - while we were exploring the theme of Neuroception, Connection, and Safety.
The autonomic nervous system is at the heart of daily living powerfully shaping our experiences of safety and influencing our capacity for connection.
Polyvagal Theory provides a guide to the autonomic circuits that underlie behaviors and beliefs and an understanding of the body to brain pathways that give birth to our personal stories of safety and survival.
Come learn the language of the nervous system and get to know your personal autonomic pathways.
This is one of hundreds of resources available inside the Rooted Global Village - www.rootedglobalvillage.com/membership
