For a long time we’ve been searching for the answer to stress and anxiety complaints in our brain. However, recent studies have shown that we have to look beyond that. That’s where the nervus vagus (or pneumogastric nerve) comes in, as it runs through your body and is connected to all your organs. So no wonder that you feel stress and anxiety in your entire body! However, the good news is that you yourself can use that very same nervus vagus to send positive messages to your body. For this connecting with other people is crucial.

This insight lies at the heart of the groundbreaking polyvagal theory by the American neuropsychiatrist Stephen W. Porges. Stress expert Luc Swinnen translates these new insights into very concrete tools to positively stimulate the nervus vagus. Step by step this allows you to strengthen your resilience and put an end to stress-related complaints.
