Why do we feel calm with some people, and unsettled with others—sometimes without knowing why? Polyvagal Theory helps us understand this. Much of this has been explained through the work of Stephen Porges, who showed how our nervous system is constantly responding to cues of safety and threat in the world around us. But what […]
