Polyvagal-informed practices for clinical work

Deb Dana’s collection organizes 50 exercises around applying polyvagal theory in therapy. The practices are intended for therapists to introduce across clinical sessions, with companion exercises for clients to use between appointments. Explanations connect the autonomic nervous system with everyday experience, while the activities focus on helping clients notice their responses and explore ways of engaging with them. The book’s structure makes the theory’s clinical application its central subject, spanning guided work in sessions and continued practice outside them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

Deb Dana is the foremost translator of polyvagal theory into clinical practice. Here, in her third book on this groundbreaking theory, she provides therapists with a grab bag of polyvagal-informed exercises for their clients, to use both within and between sessions.

These exercises offer readily understandable explanations of the ways the autonomic nervous system directs daily living. They use the principles of polyvagal theory to guide clients to safely connect to their autonomic responses and navigate daily experiences in new ways. The exercises are designed to be introduced over time in a variety of clinical sessions with accompanying exercises appropriate for use by clients between sessions to enhance the therapeutic change process.

Essential reading for any therapist who wants to take their polyvagal knowledge to the next level and is looking for easy ways to deliver polyvagal solutions with their clients.
