It Starts With Attraction: Episode 48
Being in a Safe and Social State Part 1 With Justin Sunseri
Has something ever caused you to feel triggered into a fearful or angry state? Do you feel like you have a hard time understanding what emotions you feel or how to respond to them?
In this episode, we are taking a deep dive into polyvagal theory – which is essentially the science of how people connect and respond to danger. Polyvagal theory affects us every moment of every day. It helps us understand why we feel the way we feel and react the way we react.
If you are wanting to have a better understanding of how to self regulate and co-regulate with your family members, this episode is for you. Learn simple ways to reach a safe and social state for yourself and your loved ones.
