EP 130: A Polyvagal Approach to Deepening Resilience | Stephen Porges

In this Radical Responsibility podcast, I chat with Psychologist Dr. Stephen Porges who is renowned for his Polyvagal Theory. He joins me to discuss individual and collective resilience during these uncertain times, offering great wisdom through the lens of his theory.We also chat about: -What resilience means from a polyvagal perspective and how learning to experience safety is a more constructive approach than “learning” resilience -How we use personal narratives to justify our circumstances & actions, and how to shift that narrative to serve us more effectively -How experiencing a persistent state of threat vs a sense of safety negatively impacts our ability to co-regulate and connect with others
