Deb Dana is the leading clinical translator of Stephen Porges’s influential polyvagal theory. Here she further extends the reach of this groundbreaking perspective on mental wellness in the form of a card deck.
These cards have been thoughtfully created to provide polyvagal concepts and prompts grouped into four areas representing three sections of the autonomic hierarchy: ventral; sympathetic; dorsal (a section about regulating the system) and a bonus section exploring play, stillness and change. The cards will enable clients to enhance a broad understanding of their nervous system as well as guide them through a process of tuning in.
Clinicians can use the cards at the beginning of a session to frame the work or at the end to create a plan for ongoing work. Clients can reach for the cards any time they want some nervous system support.
