The Ventral Vagal Pathway, foundational to Polyvagal Theory developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, represents the most evolved aspect of our autonomic nervous system. This sophisticated neural circuitry is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, specifically linked to the vagus nerve. Unlike its counterparts that prepare us for fight, flight, or freeze responses, the ventral vagal pathway promotes states of calm and social engagement. It’s essentially our biological platform for building connec...

Reyan Saab | Student Counsellor on Instagram: "The Polyvagal Ladder offers a fascinating way to visualize how our nervous system responds to the world around us. Think of it as a ladder with three main rungs, each representing how we move through states of safety, stress, and extreme stress 🧠🍃

- Top Rung - Ventral Vagal State (Safe and Social): When we feel safe, our body is in a ‘social engagement’ mode, promoting calmness, connection, and openness.
- Middle Rung - Sympathetic State (Fight or Flight): Faced with danger, we switch to a more primal response, ready to either fight back or make a quick getaway.
- Bottom Rung - Dorsal Vagal State (Freeze): In overwhelming situations, our body might hit the pause button, making us feel stuck or disconnected.

Did you know that your body has a built-in system for shifting between calm, stress, and shutdown? It’s all thanks to the vagus nerve - and Polyvagal Theory helps explain how it works. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, Polyvagal Theory shows us that our nervous system has three main modes:
✨ Safe & Social (Ventral Vagal) – When you feel calm, connected, and ready to engage with others. This is your happy, peaceful state.
