The Polyvagal Protocol
(Safe and Sound Protocol)
This clinically proven method significantly reduces stress and soothes the autonomic nervous system, so that you can engage with the world more effortlessly.
Adult clients and parents of ADHD children often complain that they have already undergone many different forms of intervention for their ADHD related challenges which is not only expensive but also frustrating when nothing seems to change.
The change they seek is often out of reach because most methods are top down approaches - meaning, they target the mind, not the body. The link between the mind and body is a two way street.
If the autonomic nervous system (soma, or body) is stressed then the information it sends to the mind about its environment can often be perceived as threatening, which in turn manifests as stress, overwhelm and/or brain fog. Even simple social cues from a colleague, loved one or parent may be misinterpreted as threatening.
Other manifestations of present-day soma-stress may include:
-
Defensiveness

Angry outbursts
-
A lack of emotional regulation
-
Underlying stress felt within the body
-
Anxiety challenges
-
Auditory sensitivities
-
Social disengagement
