Frequently asked
What's the difference between individual and collective trauma?
Individual trauma is held in one person's nervous system, while collective trauma is shared trauma that ripples through groups, communities and even generations, shaping common patterns of response.
What is polyvagal theory, and why does it matter for healing?
Drawing on Dr. Stephen Porges' work, polyvagal theory maps how the nervous system moves between states of safety, mobilization and shutdown, which shapes our capacity to connect and heal.
What is somatic experiencing?
It's the body-based approach to healing trauma referenced in the episode, working with sensation and nervous-system patterns held in the body rather than only with the story of what happened.
