Since the publication of The Polyvagal Theory in 2011, there has been a consistent demand for information about this groundbreaking perspective. In this comprehensive collection, Stephen W. Porges brings together his most important writings since the seminal work's release. At the core of polyvagal theory lies the concept of safety. It offers an understanding that our sense of security is influenced by autonomic states, and our cognitive assessments of risk in the environment, such as identifying potentially dangerous relationships, take a secondary role to our visceral reactions to people and places.

The ongoing global pandemic provides compelling evidence for one of the central tenets of polyvagal theory: the innate desire to connect safely with others is a biological imperative. Indeed, life can be viewed as an inherent quest for safety. Chapters on therapeutic presence, group psychotherapy, yoga and music therapy, autism, trauma, date rape, medical trauma, and COVID-19 further explore these ideas and provide a deeper understanding of the polyvagal perspective.

This collection offers a wealth of knowledge and insights into the world of polyvagal theory, making it an invaluable resource for professionals, researchers, and individuals seeking to enhance their understanding of human behavior and emotional well-being. By exploring the interplay between autonomic states, cognitive evaluations, and visceral reactions, polyvagal theory provides a framework for understanding and addressing a wide range of psychological and physical challenges. Whether you are interested in therapeutic practices, mental health, or personal growth, this book will deepen your understanding and empower you to navigate the complexities of life with greater resilience and well-being.
