Polyvagal Theory

Definition
A theory explaining how the vagus nerve influences emotional regulation, safety, and social connection through different physiological states.
Interpretation
The science of feeling safe. Polyvagal theory gives language to our shifts — freeze, fawn, fight, flight, f*ck, friend. It maps how the body responds to threat or trust. It’s the key to nervous system sovereignty.
