Publisher's Summary
An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting: polyvagal theory.
In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body. Using field-tested techniques, Dana helps you master the skills to become more aware of your nervous system moment to moment - and change the way you respond to the great and small challenges of life.
Here, you'll explore:
- Polyvagal theory - get to know the biology and function of your vagus nerve, the highway of the nervous system
- Befriending your nervous system - attune to what's going on in your body by developing your "neuroception"
- Practices and guidance to gently shape your nervous system for greater resilience, intuition, safety, and wonder
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Easily accessible introduction to nervous system regulation
This work offers a very practical guide to understanding and befriending your nervous system, and how to support movement towards greater states of regulation and experiences of safety and wellbeing. I find Deb’s voice a regulating resource to learn these new ideas, and loved the many and varied exploration exercises to put theory into practise.

Fascinating
I found this book fascinating and highly original. Much more than breathing exercises, this book really expanded my understanding of the nervous system and how it changes with positive and stressful experiences. It is very academic but also includes a lot of practical exercises and recommendations that ordinary people can put into practice. But it’s a lot to digest in an audiobook, and unfortunately audible hasn’t listed the chapter titles which really makes all the precious information inside much harder to access. It’s not a listen once book. Hopefully audible will add the chapter titles and/or include the practical exercises in the pdf, which would make it much more valuable.
