Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You Something—And Now You Can Finally Understand What It's Saying.

You've tried positive thinking. You've white-knuckled your way through panic attacks. You've told yourself to "just relax" a thousand times. But what if your anxiety, shutdown, and stress responses aren't personal failures—they're intelligent biological strategies you can actually work with?

Polyvagal Theory for Stress, Anxiety, and Trauma reveals the hidden language of your nervous system and gives you the roadmap to genuine, lasting regulation. Richard Banks translates cutting-edge neuroscience into simple, practical tools that work with your body, not against it. This isn't another audiobook telling you to breathe deeply and hope for the best—this is the biological blueprint for why you feel the way you do, and exactly how to shift it.

What You'll Learn:

• The Three Rooms of Your Nervous System and how to recognize which one you're in at any moment

• Why your panic attacks aren't random—they're predictable autonomic patterns you can learn to interrupt

• The 66-day toolkit of breathwork, movement, and connection practices proven to strengthen your vagus nerve and increase emotional resilience

• How trauma rewires your internal alarm system and the specific techniques to gently recalibrate it

• State-matched strategies for children, neurodivergent individuals, chronic illness, and caregivers

• The shame-dissolving reframe that transforms "What's wrong with me?" into "What does my nervous system need right now?"

This Audiobook Is For You If: You're exhausted from managing anxiety that won't quit. You've experienced trauma and can't move past it. You feel disconnected from your body or stuck in chronic stress. You're a therapist, teacher, or caregiver wanting nervous system-informed tools.

You don't have to fight your nervous system anymore. You just need to learn its language. Start listening today!
