Understanding your parts means understanding how they protect you. Are they using sympathetic energy to keep you alert and hypervigilant? Or dorsal vagal energy to shut you down and numb the pain? Polyvagal theory helps us see how: 👉 Protector parts carry out their adaptive missions 🔥 Sympathetic vs. dorsal vagal states affect behavior differently 🌿 Therapists can guide clients into ventral vagal coregulation for healing This knowledge is transformative for trauma-informed therapy, helping us mentor clients to harness the power of their nervous system for growth and regulation. #PolyvagalTheory #PartsWork #TraumaTherapy #EMDR #NervousSystemHealing
