Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism

Product Information

I am skeptical regarding the validity Mr. Rosenberg's assumptions. In physical therapy school we learned that some tests are what my professor called subjectively objective. This means that even though the test seems to qualify as objective, there is a good probability of the introduction of experimenter bias. I really liked the separation of post-traumatic stress from post-traumatic shutdown and think this could be incredibly useful for treatment and understanding of how PTSD functions. I also really like the idea of an assessment of nervous system function becoming a routine part of doctor's appointments and medical practice. That would be amazing! I'm also curious about the exercises presented at the end and will be trying them out. Benim için devrim niteliğinde bir kitap oldu. Hepimiz sinir sistemimizi deneyimliyoruz derlerdi de, o kadar olduğunu bilmezdim. O yüzden savruk zihnimi güzelce toplayıp, tane tane anlatmak istiyorum. Ve sizlere, benim anlatmamdaki beceri ya da beceriksizliğimden etkilenmeden migren, depresyon, uyku problemi, panik atak, fibromiyaljii dikkat eksikliği gibi kronik ya da düzensiz aralıklarla tekrar eden semptomlardan muzdaripseniz kitabı elde edip okumanızı tavsiye ediyorum. I have to admit that this is one of the difficulties inherent to manual therapy. Especially in craniosacral therapy where ESP (yes, extra-sensory perception) is professed to be the way many practitioners determine whether a patient has positive results. So, I applaud Mr. Rosenberg’s attempt to use different measurements of palpating asymmetry, observation of the uvula lift, and palpation of tension in soft tissues. But again, experimenter bias is easily introduced in these subjectively objective measures. I am highly skeptical regarding the validity Mr. Rosenberg's assumptions. It is well know that there are experimenter biases in regards to comparing the before and after measurements with observation and palpation. Because of this practitioners and massage therapists are convinced that they always get positive results.

And plenty of professional athletes use cold-water immersion to improve short-term feelings of relaxation. Research is ongoing to see if VNS can help with other health issues like multiple sclerosis, migraines and Alzheimer’s disease. I have been trying his method to turn the Vagus Nerve on with most all of my patients (and with my son). After following his precise instructions to perform the Basic Exercise (over the last 4 weeks) I have to say that I am disappointed in the results. I have not seen a big change in the uvula lift in most all of my patients (maybe I didn’t get them to yawn enough times).

Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism For many years he led a school in Denmark, teaching structural integration, myofascial release, release of scar tissue, biomechanical craniosacral therapy, visceral massage, and biotensegrity. He is the author of four books, published in Denmark: Nevermore Pain in the As other reviewers have stated, this book was dry, boring, deeply ableist, and made many oversimplifications and generalizations. It is painfully, and I mean painfully repetitive. The first 50% of the book could have easily been cut in half. It often seemed as if each chapter was written to stand alone, often full sentences were repeated from one chapter to the next.

This is an excellent book for practitioners who work with clients with trauma. I wish I'd found it years ago.Mesele derin, uzadıkça uzuyor, kısaca özetlemeye çalışacağım: sinir sistemimizde önemli bir rolü olan Vagus'a dair bu bulgu, sosyal travmalarımızın da sinir sistemimize kazındığına ve psikolojik olarak adlandırılan pek çok sıkıntının aslında travmatize sinir sistemi ile ilişkili olduğu bilgisine kadar uzanmış. Yani hem iç organların işleyişinden hem de sosyal etkileşimden sorumlu Vagus teorisi, yaşadığımız kronik fizyolojik rahatsızlıklar ve yazarın psikolojik demeyi tercih etmediği sıkıntılardan iyileşmek için öncelikle sinir sistemini travmatize olmadan önceki haline getirmemiz gerektiği bilgisini sunuyor bize. Kitabın güzel yanı, bu egzersizleri okurla paylaşması oluyor. Belirli göz egzersizleriyle Vagus'un Ventral dalını uyararak zaman içinde daha dengeli işleyen bir sinir sistemi elde edeceğimizi öğretiyor. Yani temelde, tehlike ve güvendelik hissini sağlıklı hissedebilmemizi sağlayacak sinir sistemi işleyişine kavuşuyoruz zamanla. Mesela ben göz göze gelmekte zorluk çeken birisi olmuşudur hep, son zamanlarda bunu biraz daha rahat ve doğal yaptığımı hissediyorum, olumsuz iç seslerim azaldı ve konuşurken daha doğal hissediyorum. (tabii bu hızlı sonuçta benim bir süredir düzenli yoga yapmam, beden ve nefes farkındalığım üzerine çalışmam da etkili olmuştur diye düşünüyorum. çünkü ilk yaptığı anda hiçbir şey hissetmediğini söyleyip, zamanla uykusunun düzeldiğini fark eden de oldu.) Whether or not this is pseudoscience or not remains to be seen. Much of the literature out there shows that from the small test groups that it has promise, but they're so small we don't know how helpful it truly is (think placebo effect). Working out and getting your body moving can affect your vagus nerve, research shows. Interval training and endurance training can increase your vagus nerve activity and improve your heart rate variability.
