About this listen

A collection of groundbreaking research by a leading figure in neuroscience.

This book compiles, for the first time, Stephen W. Porges's decades of research. A leading expert in developmental psychophysiology and developmental behavioral neuroscience, Porges is the mind behind the groundbreaking Polyvagal Theory, which has startling implications for the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and autism.

Adopted by clinicians around the world, the Polyvagal Theory has provided exciting new insights into the way our autonomic nervous system unconsciously mediates social engagement, trust, and intimacy.

I highly reccomend this book to anyone in the fields of psychology, counseling or medicine. It is a complex book, but the depth of understanding that you will gain from this is well worth the effort it takes to read it. It will revolutionize your understanding of anxiety and trauma.
