A poetic, therapeutic tool, this mini edition of The Tree & Me: A Polyvagal Poem will fit in your pocket!
An illustrated journey of the nervous system experience through the lens of The Polyvagal Theory-the reader moves through the different nervous system states and the ‘felt’ experience of dysregulation. The author shares co-regulation techniques to empower and furnish the reader with the self-help tools to shift nervous system states. Its meditative structure aims to reduce anxiety, depression, and traumatic stress, while creating mental wellness and emotional security.
From the Afterword written by Stephen W. Porges, PhD, creator of The Polyvagal Theory: “The Tree & Me elegantly captures the essence of Polyvagal Theory by highlighting the importance of connection, safety, and nurturing experiences in achieving a state of well-being and wholeness. The poem serves as a beautiful reminder of the profound impact of our relationships and environment on our mental and physical health.”
From Kirkus Reviews: “This rhyming poem was inspired by psychologist and neuroscientist Stephen Porges’ polyvagal theory, which dealt in part with the vagus nerve’s role in trauma response. Dickson uses a tree metaphor to describe the impact of trauma on the human nervous system. The book accurately depicts aspects of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms … the illustrations effectively contribute to the book’s soothing aesthetic.”
