Deb Dana writes therapist-oriented and general-audience books about polyvagal theory, nervous-system regulation and practical ways to recognise states of safety, mobilisation and shutdown. The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy translates Stephen Porges's framework into clinical exercises, while Anchored presents similar ideas for non-specialists through maps, cues and everyday practices intended to build awareness of autonomic states. Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection is structured as a practical workbook for therapists and clients.

Her work fits trauma-informed therapy, nervous-system regulation and somatic self-help, particularly for readers already interested in polyvagal approaches. Read more Less
