Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection: 50 Client-Centered Practices by Deb Dana

challenging hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book takes through various Polyvagal exercises following the BASIC framework (befriend, attend, shape, integrate, connect). The exercises are simple and effective. I've used some with clients already and have seen the positive impact. I'd encourage reading the while book and doing exercises in order to build on previous concepts. Half the book is simply worksheets to provide clients, so it's actually shorter than it appears at first glance. I highly recommend this book for therapists.
