The brain cannot think its way out of the symptoms of stress or trauma. It needs a way to work with the body to maximize healing. Polyvagal theory provides us with a transdiagnostic approach to therapy. We are addressing the physiological roots that underlie a wide range of physical and mental health conditions. This approach allows therapists and clients to compassionately understand and treat the imbalances within the autonomic nervous symptom that form the basis of most mood, anxiety, or traumatic stress related disorders. Traditionally, talk therapy focuses on the narratives specific life events or losses. While interventions that focus on telling the story about distressing or traumatic experiences can be beneficial, they are often insufficient to facilitate a rebalancing of the autonomic nervous system.
