Our Thought Leader Stephen Porges

The Work of Stephen Porges:

At NeuroConnect we have many thought leaders.  These are leaders in the field of psychology that  have provided inspiration and valuable new insights for helping change, heal, and growing our brain. Today we are sharing this video to illustrate the work of Stephen Porges. Watch it now: 

Psychologist and author, Stephen Porges developed the Poly Vagel Theory "a more sophisticated understanding of the biology of safety and danger, one based on the subtle interplay between the visceral experiences of our own bodies and the voices and faces of the people around us...It helped us understand why attuning with another person can shift us out of disorganized and fearful states. In short, Porges’s theory makes us look beyond the effects of fight or flight and put social relationships front and centre in our understanding of trauma. It also suggested new approaches to healing that focus on strengthening the body’s system for regulating arousal." Bessel van der Kolk
