EP 200: Stephen Porges PhD | Healing and Thriving Through Social Connection

In this episode of the Radical Responsibility podcast, I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Stephen W. Porges, a Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University and the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium. Dr. Porges, who proposed the influential Polyvagal Theory, joins us to explore 'Healing and Thriving Through Social Connection.' We discuss the crucial role of human connection in regulating the autonomic nervous system, fostering calm, resilience, and healthy relationships. Dr. Porges shares insights into recognizing and managing stress responses, mitigating the effects of trauma, and harnessing the power of social connections to heal and thrive.

 We also Discuss:

• How human connection helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, fostering calm, resilience, and healthy relationships
•  How to spot the signs that your nervous system has kicked into overdrive, and how to come back to a state of connection and trust
• How our adaptive response to both safety and life-threatening events affects our nervous system, and how to mitigate any harmful effects 
• How to gain freedom from past traumatic experiences so you can bring your mind and body back to a state of safety and strength
• The power of connection to help you heal, endure, and thrive
