BESCHRIJVING

The 5Rhythms and the basic knowledge of the Polyvagal theory are a wonderful combination. It is a fundamental approach that gives a deep insight into feelings, thoughts and behaviour patterns and we are able to deal with ourselves and others in a different and more nuanced way. The new insights make it possible for me to have more compassion for myself and others.

The poly >> what?

The Polyvagal theory is a simple model for understanding the relationship between body, mind and emotion. Its founder is Stephen Porges (USA). The insights of this theory are also called the science of safety. Safety is the basis. The basis for feeling good (emotionally, physically and mentally). Our behaviour is often not the result of a rational choice made by the brain. They are autonomous energy flows that move in patterns with the aim of finding a balance between connection and protection. You need security to be able to connect with yourself and with the people around you.
