Dr. Stephen Porges: Where Free Will Lives in Your Body, and Why You Keep Ignoring It
Q: What are your personal opinions on free will in the context of physiology and emotion?
Free will emerges in the interplay between bodily states and conscious reflection; while we have reflexive responses, we can cultivate awareness and strategies that create space for intentional action.
Your Nervous System Has Been Running Your Life - How to finally take control with Stephen Porges (Inventor of Polyvagal Theory)
Q: Can you explain the core idea of neuroception and how it affects everyday behavior?
Neuroception is the subconscious detection of safety or threat in the environment, which triggers physiological state changes via the vagal system, influencing outcomes from heart rate to willingness to take risks and engage with others.
You Didn't Choose Your Attachment Style, but Here's How You Can Change It - With Jessica Baum
Q: What's the difference between dependency and interdependency, and how can people move toward healthier dynamics?
Dependency is built on fear and needing the other to be a certain way to feel safe, while interdependency is rooted in trust, allowing autonomy and mutual support where both partners can rely on each other without losing their identity.
You Didn't Choose Your Attachment Style, but Here's How You Can Change It - With Jessica Baum
Q: Could you explain more about regulating yourself and co-regulation?
Co-regulation is the process by which a caregiver helps a child move from a stressed state to calm by providing external regulation; as adults, we can seek reliable relationships to achieve similar regulation and gradually build internal self-regulation.
