Why Your Body Knows Danger Before You Do

Have you ever felt your stomach drop in an elevator, your heart race when meeting someone new, or inexplicably frozen during a moment when you "should" have acted? These aren't character flaws or signs of weakness-they're your nervous system speaking a language older than words, older than conscious thought. Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Theory has revolutionized how we understand these involuntary responses, transforming trauma treatment worldwide and offering the first neurobiological explanation for why our bodies sometimes betray our best intentions. This isn't just academic theory-it's a roadmap for understanding every relationship, every anxiety, every moment when your body and mind seem at war with each other.
