Vagal Nerve

The Polyvagal Journey - Sound & Science To Unwind Stress & Anxiety

by Zuzana Robertson, AFBPsS, MSc, CSci

Your nervous system is not broken. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Every state you have ever been in. The anxiety that won’t switch off. The exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix. The disconnection that has settled in so quietly you have stopped noticing it. Every single one of these is your nervous system responding intelligently to what it has experienced. The problem is not the response. The problem is getting stuck there. In 1994, a neuroscientist named Stephen Porges published a theory that changed everything we thought we knew about the human nervous system. He called it polyvagal theory. And what it revealed was extraordinary. We do not have one stress response. We have three distinct neurological states. Each with its own physiology. Its own psychology. Its own felt sense in the body. And its own pathway back to regulation. Understanding these three states is the most useful thing you can learn about your own nervous system. Because once you can name where you are, you can begin to find your way back. This course maps that journey. Ten days. Three states. Original music composed specifically for each neurological territory. Evidence-based teaching drawn from the most important research in nervous system science. And guided practices designed to produce a direct, felt, embodied experience of each state. Not just an intellectual understanding of it. This is not a course about managing stress. It is a course about understanding your own nervous system so completely that stress loses its power to define your experience. Created by a practitioner with eighteen years of experience working with the nervous system, mind-body approaches to regulation, and the evidence base for sound as a direct regulatory tool. Ten days. The most important map you will ever learn to read.
