Narcissistic Relationships, Trauma & Polyvagal Theory
Do you ever wonder why you react in the way you do and wish that you had a positive response instead of what always seems to be a negative response? If so, tune in, as in this episode I’ll break down Polyvagal Theory and how it teaches us how and why our responses are often automatic. By knowing how our nervous system controls our responses, we can start to point ourselves in the direction of growth by integrating a recovery programme that can change how we feel for the better. What you will learn in this episode: What Polyvagal Theory is and how your vagus nerve regulates your reactions The science behind trusting your gut How cortisol and adrenaline play a role in your perception of narcissistic abuse I’ll also discuss how you can use the traffic light system to define where you are in your trauma recovery. At the end of the day, I want you to know how you can turn your pain into your purpose, and by learning more about your nervous system, you’ll be able to create a recovery plan to influence how your nervous system can help you for the better.
