Summary
An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting: polyvagal theory.
In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body. Using field-tested techniques, Dana helps you master the skills to become more aware of your nervous system moment to moment - and change the way you respond to the great and small challenges of life.
Here, you'll explore:
- Polyvagal theory - get to know the biology and function of your vagus nerve, the highway of the nervous system
- Befriending your nervous system - attune to what's going on in your body by developing your "neuroception"
- Practices and guidance to gently shape your nervous system for greater resilience, intuition, safety, and wonder
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

some interesting stuff
some interesting points & helpful tips, however as a theory of 'everything' I think it lacks, the connection to the ANS is valid but there is more at play with regards to mood & behavior.

Amazing
Perfectly read by the author, Deb Dana. Her voice alone helps to regulate you in ventral vagal safety. A beautiful combination of scientific and heart felt wisdom with simple yet profound pratical applications.
Highly recommended!

99% exactly like her other book. Disappointing
I really enjoyed How To Befriend Your Nervous System. I learnt so much, and it was a wonderful journey exploring my nervous system. I was excited to learn more with this book. But I was so disappointed as it’s pretty much the exact same book. The examples and stories are just the same. Pretty poor really and it feels like a bit of a rip off.

Pure Waffle
It’s like she took a load of LSD & started writing. All mixed up & full of silly exercises that seem to have no purpose. Some big words but no scientific information or leanings
