Polyvagal states: self-assessment

Recognizing how our body reacts to stress is essential for fostering emotional health and resilience. This self-assessment is designed to bring awareness to the state of your autonomic nervous system, pinpointing whether you lean towards a sympathetic, dorsal, or ventral vagal response.

By paying attention to your encounters and bodily signals, you can learn valuable insights into how you cope with adversity, trauma, and stress. It’s important to note that this assessment is intended for self-reflection purposes and not as a diagnostic exam.

Taking this time to take notice of your internal dynamics will help you develop increased self-awareness and compassion along the path.
