The Polyvagal Ladder
-
Ventral Vagal Engagement
During times of safety, the ventral branch of the vagus nerve enables you to engage with others without feeling threatened, and it is sometimes called the “safe and social” state.
-
Sympathetic Mobilization
The “fight or flight” response mobilizes the body to take action in response to fear or emergency, but it is also activated by exercise, embarrassment, and excitement.
-
Dorsal Vagal Shutdown
Whereas fear drives the sympathetic nervous system to mobilize, grave danger drives the dorsal vagal branch to slam on the breaks and immobilize the body for protection.
