Dr. Stephan Porges discovered in 1994 that trauma in humans comes from our most ancient "reptilian" freeze reflex, as I wrote last week.
But Porges also says we can use our mammalian attachment system to heal this.
Here are a few short (and two long) Porges videos, since his Polyvagal Theory is pretty darn complex.
I really like "The Science of Compassion," his talk at the Stanford University conference of the same name.
