Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.

Our nervous system is like a safety alarm in our body, it helps us stay safe in situations of perceived danger. In the modern world, that system can be constantly activated, keeping us in a state of hypervigilance or shut down that can impact our daily lives. Polyvagal Theory, created and developed by Stephen Porges, PhD, gives us a better understanding of our autonomic nervous system, the vagus nerve and how they impact our physiological and psychological states. 

Niall is joined by Michael Allison, educational partner with Polyvagal Institute and creator of ‘The Play Zone’, which applies polyvagal theory to performance psychology. They discuss the basics of polyvagal theory, how are nervous systems interact with each other and how safety, connection and co-regulation are vital to a healthy human experience.
