Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism

Product Information

Stanley Rosenberg explains in easy-to-understand terms how the vagus nerve, in particular, has a strong role in determining our psychological and emotional state, especially when it comes to how we relate and react to other people. By understanding the physiology of the autonomic nervous system and practicing simple exercises to restore proper vagal functioning, we can learn how to improve our emotional state within minutes. Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve is a practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical wellbeing. Drawing from the polyvagal theory of Stephen Porges--one of the biggest new developments in human neurobiology Turn to this practice to help calm your mind and focus on deep breathing. While doing meditation, try extending your exhales, making them longer than your inhales. This will help slow your heart rate. I really liked the separation of post-traumatic stress from post-traumatic shutdown and think this could be incredibly useful for treatment and understanding of how PTSD functions. I also really like the idea of an assessment of nervous system function becoming a routine part of doctor's appointments and medical practice. That would be amazing! I'm also curious about the exercises presented at the end and will be trying them out. I’m not well enough to do the exercises for ANS regulation, so I can’t attest to those, although I know many have benefited from them.

ACCESSING THE HEALING POWER OF THE VAGUS NERVE: The Self-Help

And plenty of professional athletes use cold-water immersion to improve short-term feelings of relaxation. PDF / EPUB File Name: Accessing_the_Healing_Power_of_the_Vagus_N_-_Stanley_Rosenberg.pdf, Accessing_the_Healing_Power_of_the_Vagus_N_-_Stanley_Rosenberg.epub Following a detailed explanation of the cranial nerves, the polyvagal theory, and how craniosacral therapy can assist with restoring proper neuroception, Rosenberg provides self-help exercises to test ventral vagal function and to improve the function of the cranial nerves. hän oli hoitanut 17-vuotiasta pikkuveljeään Williamia, jolla oli diagnosoitu lapsuusiän autismi. [...] Hän ei puhunut eikä ottanut katsekontaktia kehenkään. [...] Kun Thor teki veljelleen neurofaskiatekniikan, William nojautui taaksepäin ja katsoi Thoria silmiin, mitä ei ollut ennen tehnyt. Sitten William nousi seisomaan ja tasapainotteli toisella jalalla. Sitten William siirsi painonsa toiselle jalalle ja seisoi sillä. Tuo yksi ainoa tekniikka riitti tuomaan Williamin sosiaalisen liittymisen tilaan. William alkoi kommunikoida perheensä ja koulunsa muiden oppilaiden kanssa, ja hän alkoi saada ystäviä." (s.252)It’s no wonder then that a lot of attention has been on the vagus nerve and ways to improve how well it functions. I read this book a few months ago, but apparently Goodreads ate my review and the book doesn't even show up on my "Read" list, so I'll try to just summarize my comments from memory (they weren't very long). Rosenberg makes many generalisations, and some spurious conjecture. For example, whilst listing symptoms of depression, “people with a diagnosis of depression... are often plagued by the aches and pains of fibromyalgia”. Are they though? 🧐 Research is ongoing to see if VNS can help with other health issues like multiple sclerosis, migraines and Alzheimer’s disease. For many years Stanley Rosenberg has run a school in Denmark, teaching structural integration, myofascial release, release of scar tissue, biomechanical cranio-sacral therapy, visceral massage, and biotensegrity.

Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism csv For the most part, the way he talks about autism and autistic people was offensive, patronizing and full of stigma. "Defective", in need of "cure", "a challenge", "the emotional toll", "the cost of autism." He also talked about ensuring autistic children feel safe and respected which frankly can't be done when you believe they are also defective. Ehkä yksi odottamattomimmista havainnoistani kehoterapiassa on ollut se, että olen löytänyt jännitystä oikeassa päännyökkääjälihaksessa - ja sen mukana kallon epämuodostuman, lättänän takaraivon tai plagiokefalian - jokaisella ADHD- tai autismikirjon diagnoosin saaneella asiakkaalla. [...] tämä kallon epämuodostuma ei rajoitu lapsiin. Näen sitä myös monilla aikuisilla, joilla on ollut vaikeuksia sosiaalisessa liittymisessä. [...] Monet vanhemmat tulevat luokseni, koska tietävät jo, että heidän lapsensa takaraivo on lättänä. Jos vanhemmat eivät vielä tiedä, näytän heille, miten tunnustella lapsen pään muotoa ja huomata asymmetria, ennen kuin aloittamme hoidon. Toisen puolen päännyökkääjälihaksen rentouttaminen johtaa yleensä selvään parannukseen lapsen pään muodossa vain muutamassa minuutissa."

It is painfully, and I mean painfully repetitive. The first 50% of the book could have easily been cut in half. It often seemed as if each chapter was written to stand alone, often full sentences were repeated from one chapter to the next. Working out and getting your body moving can affect your vagus nerve, research shows. Interval training and endurance training can increase your vagus nerve activity and improve your heart rate variability. Bu şüpheli görünen durumu kendimce biraz açmayı deneyeyim. Kitapta ismi geçen Vagus, kendisi kafatası sinirlerimizden onuncusu olur ve gezmeyi biraz(fazlasıyla)seven bir sinirdir. Kafatasından gözlerimize, yüz kaslarımıza, yutağa ulaşır ve oradan aşağı inerek tüm iç organları gezer. Fakat uzuunca bir süre Vagus'un bu rotası insanlar tarafından biraz yanlış anlaşılmış ve Vagus'un sadece yemek bulma, yeme, sindirim gibi süreçlerden sorumlu olduğuna inanılmış. Ta kiii Stephen Porges (aydede yüzlü bir nörobilimci) Polivegal Teorisini sunana kadar... Polivegal Teorinin getirdiği yenilik, Vagusun sadece iç organların işleyişinden sorumlu olmakla kalmayıp, sosyal etkileşimimizi düzenleyen bir dalı daha olduğunu keşfetmek olmuş. Porges'in bulgusuna göre Vagus'un Dorsal dalı (ilkel vagus da deniyor) doğada tehlikeli anlarda kapanma, donma tepkisinden sorumluyken(avcısından kaçarken donup kalan memeliler örnek veriliyor), daha sonra evrimleşen Ventral Dalı da güvende olduğumuz anlarda kurduğumuz sağlıklı sosyal etkileşimi düzenliyor. (Yüz kaslarımızı kullanmamız, ses tonumuzu ayarlamamız, duyduğumuz seslerin güvenli ya da tehlike işareti olduklarını anlamamız gibi...)
