Understanding Polyvagal Theory: Why Some People Struggle to Regulate and How to Heal

Scott grew up in a home where love was unpredictable, leading his nervous system to constantly perceive threats, even in harmless situations. Polyvagal Theory explains how our nervous system reacts to cues of safety or danger, and why some people, like Scott, get stuck in survival mode, feeling perpetually anxious or disconnected. Factors like chronic stress, early experiences, and a lack of supportive relationships can condition the nervous system to remain on high alert. By understanding these patterns and applying practical strategies such as building safe connections, mindful breathing, and self-compassion, it's possible to move toward a state of safety and emotional regulation.
