Harness the power of your nervous system to support healthy relationships and personal well-being.
Why is it that when you have a tense conversation with a boss, coworker, or partner, you feel like you’re staring down a charging rhinoceros? How is it that both situations cause a fight-or-flight response - and what can you learn from it?
As it turns out, the same neurological processes that cause unwanted stress can also be harnessed to summon relaxation, spaciousness, and equanimity. In Befriending Your Nervous System, clinician Deb Dana presents a simple, hopeful message: When you approach these subconscious processes with openness, mindful attention, and - above all - curiosity, you can gain the understanding necessary to shape their outcomes. Dana draws from the recent explosion of research in polyvagal theory, which posits that our most hardwired survival responses are regulated by the vagus nerve and can be consciously regulated through repeated exercises.
Here, you will learn:
- How to interpret the subtle language of the nervous system
- Present-moment awareness and the mechanics of choice
- Your personal “protection-connection” equation
- How to cultivate and savor positive nervous states
- Why it’s paramount that you examine your internalized stories about the world
- How to discover the stillness available in every moment
- What actually nourishes your autonomic nervous system
- The continuum of resilience
- The process of reciprocity, rupture, and repair
- How to recognize physical cues of both safety and danger
Dana teaches how to work with the body’s innate ability to pick up social signals and cultivate “micro-moments” of safety, retraining your automatic responses to stress, conflict, and hardship. Including in-depth practices such as guided imagery, meditation, and ongoing self-inquiry, Befriending Your Nervous System offers a practical user’s manual for anyone seeking greater wellness, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.

Shock, diseases and conflicts about the broken health care system make stress a huge challenge for the nervous system.
This is the most helpful information about understanding how to get your heart and mind to communicate properly with others too.
I pray it will help me reenter Standard care with an open heart. I have been in hospice one year....your book helped me get the courage to stand up to oncology once again.
I am the evidence you can survive breast cancer without going chemotherapy Land. Being told you have 1 year 2 at the most is horrible for the nervous system..I stand by Proverbs 18:21. 'the power if the tounge' It's 4 years 9 months of a 'Me and Jesus" journey.
I survive because Audible brings me books like these by folks trying to tell people how to process and communicate with Love and hope.

It sounds good, right? But when I started looking at the graphics they made less and less sense.
It has a whole vocabulary they made up to go with the theory, but as with many things in today's wellness marketplace, it isn't substantiated. Disappointing.
Lots of hand waving
