You have questions.
You’ve started learning the Polyvagal Theory, but are left with questions and confusion. It’s frustrating, I know. Because the Theory seems to have the keys to understanding yourself, your mental health and your trauma better.
You know there’s an explanation for your anxiety, anger or depression right in front of you and are eager to learn more.
And you’re right. It does. The Polyvagal Theory can give you the answers that you need. And it does so without judgment. Without shame. Without blame. Without ridicule or pressure.
You want clarity.
You simply want to understand the Polyvagal Theory simply. You want to connect the pieces and get clarity on your questions.
When I first heard of the Theory, I was researching how to better help my traumatized therapy clients. I was frustrated with my outcomes and with understanding what the heck is meant by “trauma lives in the body.” I obsessively researched and absorbed the primary source information for months and months.
All of my intense work paid off though. I got it, could teach it clearly and apply it.
My clients gained that deeper understanding they wanted and also gained a new narrative. They were able to shed the shame, blame and judgment of their trauma that they had been carrying.
Life after Polyvagal 101.

PVT101 options:
"oh my goodness!"
Oh my goodness!! First, Polyvagal 101 helped me understand my therapy better. I was able to let down my defenses of “ you’re not the boss of me” attitude and have a willingness to listen with a curious ear and then do my therapy homework. Second, the course helped me learn about myself and what goes on inside of me. It validates that I’m not a ‘freak of nature’ and that I’m not alone. -Sandra
"thank you!"
"Interesting, felt sense, body work, this biology info is news I can use vs a lot trauma info out there. Thanks!" -Stephanie
"normalizes & validates"
"...learning the terms and language surrounding PVT has been helpful not just to understand the system at hand, but to do so quickly and efficiently... [E]ven without delving into more intricate detail, learning these basics normalizes and validates the struggles that trauma patients face..." -Robin
"actually click"
Michele said the most impactful thing she learned was realizing she was "stuck in behavioral adaptations" and one lesson in particular made it "actually click in a way [she] could understand and see the problem clearly."

I'm a Polyvagal Nerd.
I delved deeply into the Polyvagal Theory to enhance my therapy outcomes for heavily traumatized clients. Now, I specialize in trauma therapy with somatic techniques and a strong grasp of the theory. I've taught it globally through my podcast and directly to teachers, social workers, police, therapists, and more. I also developed the Polyvagal Trauma Relief System and serve as one of five Editorial Board Members at the Polyvagal Institute.
FAQ
Can't I learn the PVT free?
Yep. I have lots of free Polyvagal info all over the place. PVT101 is different because it's all the Polyvagal essentials collected in one place and clearly connected to trauma in under 2 hours. If you want it free, use this resource.
Is PVT101 part of your larger System?
It is! PTRS is a bundle of all three of my courses. Each course has a function on its own and can be bought individually.
Will PVT101 teach me self-regulation and trauma recovery?
No. PVT101 is purely focused on teaching the Polyvagal Theory and how it connects to trauma with some journaling options. Building Safety Anchors and Unstucking Defensive States are built for self-regulation, but should not be taken unless you know the Polyvagal Theory.
