Description
If you or your client is living with an overwhelmed nervous system, the vagus nerve is likely weak.
This can make it challenging to regulate your emotions and triggers.
However, according to leading trauma expert Dr. Stephen Porges, the key to supporting the nervous system in moving to a calm and more regulated state is through the vagus nerve.
Furthermore, the vagus nerve is the main nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for helping the body return to a state of balance (Breit et al., 2018).
This is why if one’s vagus nerve is weak, it is harder for one to regulate their emotions (Breit et al., 2018; Porges et al., 1994).
Whereas a higher vagal tone is associated with emotional stability and resilience (Porges et al., 1994).
The vagus nerve is one of the longest branches of nerves in the body, which communicates information from our vital organs back to the brain (Breit et al., 2018).
Thankfully, there is a way to increase the tone of the vagus nerve to support you in moving to a place of emotional stability.
For this reason, Rewire Trauma Therapy has brought together our top experts in the field of Polyvagal Theory to create this specialized program featuring over 14 different 10-minute vagal toning techniques and 7 theory modules.
Thousands of people and therapists who have purchased this program have reported seeing noticeable improvements from their first week of integrating these 10-minute techniques into their daily routine.
Therefore, with these techniques and enough time, we believe that you can help yourself and your clients restore feelings of safety and groundedness within the body and nervous system after surviving trauma or chronic stress.

At Rewire Trauma Therapy we offer online body-based, somatic movement therapies to trauma survivors and practitioners worldwide. Select courses offer CE credits.
Body-based therapy is a trauma focused approach that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the mind and body to foster physiological and psychological well-being.
Rewire Trauma Therapy integrates over 8 movement-centered therapies into 10-minute daily guided exercises including Somatic Experiencing, Qigong, Vagal Toning, and Trauma-Informed Yoga into short neuroplasticity exercises that help calm the traumatized nervous system to teach the body how to re-accommodate feelings of safety, calm and trust. These exercises are accompanied by theory videos led by experts in the field or trauma treatment and research.
These have been proven to help the body to access and release stored tissue memory and regulate the nervous system to facilitate healing. These therapies prioritize working with the body before engaging in talk-therapy approaches, as they tend to require a more regulated nervous system for effective outcomes.
