TVM AND MY EXPERIENCE
I know this modality's capability as I have personally experienced it. My first session is one I will never forget. For hours after, I was an emotional wreck. I sobbed and felt so raw which was a feeling I had not felt in years because of my tendency to suppress. I knew immediately this modality was special. It launched my trauma recovery journey, which is still unfolding today.
For me personally, trauma showed up as self-sabotaging behavior, depression, anxiety, too much sugar and alcohol, too little self-care. These left me stuck in many areas of my life, all of them actually. It was frustrating and discouraging. Fortunately, TVM targeted the problem at the level of my nervous system and that made all the difference. It gave me hope that I could heal. It proved to me healing is possible.

WHAT IS TVM?
The Triple Vagal Method is a science-backed and proven somatic modality that is based on the Polyvagal Theory. TVM is done by stimulating the Vagus Nerve that regulates the nervous system. It helps stimulate the release of oxytocin (a hormone involved in human bonding and co-regulation) and reduces cortisol that left elevated creates chronic stress. It gives the nervous system a reprieve from hypervigilance. It invites it to come home to a place of 'felt-safety'.
TVM supports the rewiring of our nervous system away from chronic flight, fight, and freeze states towards calm emotional resiliency. We do not need to relive our trauma, quite the opposite. We need to know that right here, right now in this moment we are safe. This grounds our bodies, it shifts our trauma. It puts us into the rest, digest, repair and detox state where all healing happens.

WHAT IS TRAUMA? (PART 1)
Trauma is a universal human experience. We have all had experiences that overwhelmed our nervous system and prevented us from completing a fight or flight response. This thwarted self-defense activated our freeze response which left us feeling immobilized, helpless, depressed, exhausted. Trauma is about how our bodies responded to threats, it is not about the threats themselves. Trauma is a biological state.
If we do not know how to resolve the trauma, complete the trauma response, we stay in a chronic state of fear. We feel perpetually threatened (unsafe) and cannot return to a state of relaxation. Over time this wears down our bodies and makes life miserable. This is when we turn to self-sabotaging self-soothing behaviors such as sugar, alcohol, drugs, sexing and texting, etc.

WHAT IS TRAUMA? (PART 2)
Trauma can range from interpersonal abuse, neglect or abandonment to environmental disasters. It comes in all shapes and sizes. Trauma is trauma and most of us have trauma that has left its mark.
Somatic approaches to trauma recovery are often the missing piece in our efforts to heal. It works directly with our nervous system helping shift entrenched fear, threat and overwhelm. It moves us away from distraction, disconnection and dissociation towards safety, connection and presence. TVM is a proven somatic based therapeutic intervention. It helps return our nervous system to a regulated state. This isn't easy, but it is possible.

THE MISSING PIECE
"Most people try to work their way out of their problems. They can be doing everything right. Working hard, meditating, therapy, eating right, exercising, etc. Unless you address the nervous system where stored trauma lives, you will only get so far. Somatic work is the missing piece we have all been looking for. It shifts tension patterns at the root level where fear festers and hypervigilance lives. It invites the body to learn to feel safe in small doses. This is where healing happens."
