The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy – Clinical Guide to Nervous System Regulation, Trauma Work & Autonomic Mapping for Therapists
The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy is a clinical resource designed to help therapists integrate Polyvagal Theory into everyday therapeutic practice. It translates complex neuroscience into practical, clinician-friendly language focused on understanding how the autonomic nervous system shapes emotional regulation, trauma responses, and relational connection.
The book introduces structured methods for observing and tracking autonomic states in clients, using mapping tools and worksheets that make nervous system patterns more visible and clinically actionable. It emphasizes how therapists can support clients in shifting from dysregulated survival states toward regulation, safety, and social connection.
Through guided exercises and applied frameworks, the book demonstrates how to engage the ventral vagal system to support emotional stability, resilience, and co-regulation within the therapeutic relationship.
This work is intended for clinicians who want to incorporate body-based, nervous-system-informed approaches into trauma therapy and psychotherapy practice.
