Welcome back to The Therapy4Dads Podcast, the show where we dive deep into the world of holistic mental health, education, and fatherhood and explore the various challenges and triumphs that come with it. 

Today, we're exploring the fascinating concept of polyvagal theory and how it relates to our everyday lives. Joining us on this journey are two incredible guests. First, we have Seth Porges, a journalist, director, producer, and son of the esteemed Dr. Stephen Porges, the pioneer behind polyvagal theory.  In this episode, we delve into our polyvagal world and examine the impact our environment has on our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. We discuss how our bodies and nervous systems respond to different levels of safety, and how this affects our ability to function effectively in today's pragmatic society. We also explore the vital role of social interaction and coregulation in our lives, particularly for fathers and their relationships outside of the immediate home. Our experts shed light on the importance of understanding the impact of trauma on our sense of safety and how it can shape our responses to various events. But that's not all! We'll also dive into how the beliefs and conditioning around emotions, vulnerability, and self-regulation can affect our overall well-being, as well as the way we parent our children. So, grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready to delve into the fascinating world of polyvagal theory. It's time to unpack OUR POLYVAGAL WORLD!
