Description
Deb Dana is the foremost translator of polyvagal theory into clinical practice. In her third book on this groundbreaking theory, Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection, she provides therapists with a grab bag of polyvagal-informed exercises for their clients to use both within and between sessions.
These exercises offer readily understandable explanations of the ways the autonomic nervous system directs daily living. They use the principles of polyvagal theory to guide clients to safely connect to their autonomic responses and navigate daily experiences in new ways.
The exercises are designed to be introduced over time in a variety of clinical sessions with accompanying exercises appropriate for use by clients between sessions to enhance the therapeutic change process.
Essential reading for any therapist who wants to take their polyvagal knowledge to the next level and is looking for easy ways to deliver polyvagal solutions with their clients.
