  • Understanding the Polyvagal Theory and How it Relates to SM
    2022/12/15

    There is so much that goes on physiologically when someone has Selective Mutism - there is a tightening the the throat, the inability to make eye contact, a frozen expression. And why is this? I believe it relates to the vagus nerve and the Polyvagal Theory. This podcast episode explores the PolyVagal Theory to help understand what may be happening when someone is unable to speak in certain situations.

    Selective Mutism is not a well-known anxiety disorder. When people don't understand something, they may have a hard time believing in it.
