Description
A Polyvagal Informed Approach to Therapeutic Work with Children and Young People offers a comprehensive guide to supporting children and young people through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory. This neurophysiological framework provides new insights into the nervous system, emotions, and social connection, helping to unravel the mysteries of why children adopt protective strategies.
By exploring the intersections of attachment theory, developmental trauma, and adverse childhood experiences, the authors shed light on what shapes behaviour in children and young people. The book also delves into the role of play and metaphor within the Polyvagal Theory, using real-life examples to illustrate the adaptations children make for survival. With clear explanations, practical examples, and actionable strategies, this text is an essential resource for child therapists, trainees, and professionals working in the mental health of children and young people.
