1024 || polyvagal theory

About this episode

Polyvagal theory (PVT) isn't validated by neuroscientists but we can definitely learn from the theory itself.

According to the theory, three organizational principles can be distinguished:


Explanatory diagram:

  1. Hierarchy: The autonomic nervous system reacts in three reaction patterns, which are activated in a specific order.
  2. Neuroception: In contrast to perception, it is here a cognition without awareness, triggered by a stimulus such as danger.[14][19]
  3. Co-regulation: The need to feel safe enough to allow oneself to be in relationships, which is difficult for traumatized people.[20
