I'm out of the clinical game (many years now), and so I'm out of all the loops. I'm getting CE invitations to learn about something called "polyvagal theory", apparently (?) asserting that vagal responses (or polyvagal? IDK) are involved in, and can ameliorate, psychological disorders.
Before I do a deep dive, does anyone have a one-sentence summary of what this is?
