4.0
Polyvegal Theory (PT) is an evolutionarily grounded, neuroscientific and psychological construct that explains the role of the vagus nerve in mammalian threat response and emotion regulation via social connection (co-regulation) initially introduced by Stephen Porges in 1994.
This book is a compendium of articles written by Stephen Porges and numerous other researchers.
If you’re new to PT, I don’t recommend starting with this one. I would start with:
The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory by Stephen W. Porges.
Read my review if it here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4363633551
Anyway.
This is a good (not great) book.
I’m giving it 4/5 stars.
That being said.
PT is fantastic stuff.
Particularly if you’re a therapist.
And this is a terrific book if you’re (a) already a little familiar with PT, and (b) curious to learn more.
