The Safety State: The Top of the Polyvagal Ladder
About this episode
This episode explores the concept of safety as the top of the polyvagal ladder, detailing its physical and emotional manifestations.
Safety is the state where life feels workable. Not perfect, just manageable. It's the top of the ladder and the place we're all reaching for, so this episode is about what it actually feels like in your body, what it looks like on someone's face and in their voice, and what it really takes to get there. You'll also meet Courtney, whose story we follow throughout the states from here. 👉 New here?
