An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting: polyvagal theory. In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body.

The concepts and interventions introduced in this book are designed as an adjunct to, and in support of, other methods of treatment rather than as a stand-alone treatment or manualized approach. By drawing on the therapeutic relationship and adjusting interventions to the particular needs of each client, thoughtful attention to what is being spoken beneath the words through the body can heighten the intimacy of the therapist/client journey and help change take place more easily in the hidden recesses of the self.

The late Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement, revolutionized psychotherapy with his concept of "client-centered therapy." His influence has spanned decades, but that influence has become so much a part of mainstream psychology that the ingenious nature of his work has almost been forgotten. With a new introduction by Peter Kramer, this landmark book is a classic in its field and a must-listen for anyone interested in clinical psychology or personal growth.

Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: Why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed.

Research suggests that the presence of the therapist, and how the therapist truly forges a connection with the client in therapy, are the most crucial factors affecting the client’s healing process. An engaged, committed, caring therapist who is mindful of his or her own self - and how that self relates to the client - is the key determinant of how well that client will respond to therapy.

Publisher's Summary
This book offers therapists an integrated approach to adding a polyvagal foundation to their work with clients. With clear explanations of the organizing principles of Polyvagal theory, this complex theory is translated into clinician and client-friendly language. Using a unique autonomic mapping process designed to effectively track autonomic response patterns, this book presents practical ways to work with clients' experiences of connection. Through exercises that have been specifically created to engage the regulating capacities of the ventral vagal system, therapists are given tools to help clients reshape their autonomic nervous systems.
Adding a polyvagal perspective to clinical practice draws the autonomic nervous system directly into the work of therapy, helping clients re-pattern their nervous systems, build capacities for regulation, and create autonomic pathways of safety and connection. With chapters that build confidence in understanding Polyvagal theory and introduce practices for re-patterning, as well as a series of autonomic meditations, this book offers therapists a guide to practicing polyvagal-informed therapy.

Great Book, Poor Editing
This book is a great resource for mental health professionals. There are several editing errors with the audio, though; several times the same portion is repeated, and there are times when you hear the narrator talking to the director/producer. But if you can get past that, the book itself is great!

Finally I understand how to use pendulation and titration when working with the central nervous system. I’m wishing I had read this book earlier, but appreciate having read it now. It has nicely tied up loose ends in my previous understanding of how to use the Polyvagal theory with clients.

Life Changing and Paradigm Shifting
I've read several other books including by Drs. van der Kolk, Peter Levine and Gabor Maté. I've found them all useful and these and many other books also mention Polyvagal Theory. However, this book by Deb Dana transformed my life!! Understanding where I am on the ladder and how to recognize and cope even if I'm in Dorsal collapse (at times frequently) has been cathartic. Learning simple tools (humming, music, taking a hot bath, getting out into nature etc.) to help get myself back to Ventral Vagal. The fact that this theory can so conveniently work alongside, compliment and enhance most modalities of therapy is such a blessing. Told my therapist I was reading this book and even though he was already aware of the Stephen Porges theory, he did not have a copy so immediately went online and ordered the book and the accompanying workbook.

Great resource.
Very helpful for clinicians!
A model that improves interaction and respects the nervous system in such a way that the most basic signals can now become therapy. Recognize your client’s state, be compassionate and remember you are sensory input to your clients.
