Synopsis

'Deb Dana guides us, by means of simple exercises, to understand and befriend our autonomic nervous system.' - GABOR MATÉ

When we’re stressed, anxious and overwhelmed, our nervous systems – and our lives – suffer. All our behaviours, emotions and stories have their roots in our nervous systems – how we feel in our bodies, how we perceive the world around us, and how we connect with others in our relationships.

Polyvagal Theory has produced incredibly effective new tools for regulating our neurobiology. With The Nervous System Workbook, leading Polyvagal expert Deb Dana presents an interactive guide for befriending your nervous system and cultivating a sense of safety and peace. Dana warmly guides you through exercises, practices and reflections to help you understand, soothe and train your system – so you can live with less reactivity and more ease.

The Nervous System Workbook is the tool you need to understand the nuances of your body’s unique needs – and respond to those needs when you feel challenged, with a custom menu of support. There is no right or wrong way – there is only the way of your nervous system.
