Elaine breaks down polyvagal theory into simple zones that help explain why your body reacts the way it does, and shares specific breath work, ice pack applications, and body awareness practices that can shift your nervous system state within minutes.  Learn why traditional relaxation advice often fails and how finding your body's "safety zones" can be transformative for healing.
