This is a step-by-step walk through how my body moved to the Dorsal Vagal response after a long period of heightened stress due to PTSD, anxiety and depression. These issues were born out the early death of my 11-month old son Joshua in 2011.

The dorsal vagus is a large, primitive nerve that is common to all animals, including fish. It goes down the spine and has a role in controlling our lungs, hearts (moderating heartbeats so they don't get too rapid) and stomach (where it actually aids digestion). It is prominent in sleep and relaxation—e.g., when we lie on the beach in the sun. It is very active in the “diving reflex” that allows marine mammals to hold their breaths for long periods of time. A cultivation of the reflex has allowed humans to set records of over six minutes under water.*

I know  the importance of finding some ease within the body. I witnessed Joshua's last breaths and this image aroused PTSD and severe anxiety and depression.

Accessing the Vagus Nerve and Polyvagal Theory were critical in my recovery. It allowed me the capacity to find a little ease whilst in tandem I built a meditation practice and sought therapy.

This video is recorded life with a group who are participating in my online course (www.remotetribe.co.uk) where we dive deep into the neuroscience of stress, mindfulness and recovery.

Recovery from whatever loss or stress you have suffered is possible. It does require a desire to do the work, and a commitment to show up. Remember to seek help, speak to friends and find a therapist or coach that is right for you.

Hope & Love, Justin.
