Trauma and the Nervous System

This video explores trauma through a polyvagal perspective, explaining how the autonomic nervous system responds to safety, danger and chronic stress. It examines the impact of trauma, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and prolonged adversity on emotional wellbeing, physical health and relationships. The session highlights how nervous system dysregulation can keep people stuck in survival responses and explores the role of connection, co-regulation and trauma-informed approaches in supporting healing, resilience and recovery.
