What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is the Ed Myland Show. All right. Hey, guys. So today's podcast is going to be unique. It's a dive into the deep end of understanding you. and i'm with dr stephen porges who you hear about in a minute but we don't waste any time so we're going to use terms that many of you haven't heard of for before like hrv which stands for heart rate variability and that's the variation in your heartbeat not your heart rate but your heart variability and that matters because they believe you know in modern science that that's an indicator of what physical state your body's in the neuro state that you're in you'll hear about parasympathetic and sympathetic state all you need to know about that is the sympathetic state is sort of considered fight or flight mode in most circles and the parasympathetic state is known as more of like a peaceful or flow state the vagal nerve or the vagus nerve it's just a nerve that runs really it's the longest nerve in your body and this nerve when stimulated they believe changes that state that you're in these are new terms to most of
you know, most of you and most people who are listening to this, but it won't be over the next five or ten years. These will be very commonplace terms that you'll know about. So when you hear those terms today, don't be intimidated by them or anything like that. But I wanted you to have this foundation because we're going to go right into it here when you hear this conversation. And so stick in there, because although it's complicated in the beginning, by the middle and end, there's a big bow put around it that I think will increase your level of understanding, particularly to the very end this week. All right, guys, here we go.
How does our physiological state influence our emotions and behavior?
All right, welcome back to the show, everybody. So I've wanted to talk to this man for a long time. What I didn't know is he lives down the street from me. So we're doing this. If you're watching this on Zoom today or on YouTube, we probably could walk to each other's house and do this interview together. But nonetheless, we've chosen to do it digitally. But I've been fascinated by his work because it... It goes to the root of what I believe is modern day change in human beings, not just platitudes or memes or motivational sayings, but this man's work matters. And he's been doing it since, you know, since before a lot of you were born. And he's an expert. His name, by the way, is he told me, please call him Steve, but I'm not doing that until we get going.
Dr. Stephen Porges is my guest today. He's affiliated with a bunch of different universities. One of them is University of Indiana. So go Hoosiers in the national championship that's coming up. but written a bunch of stuff on books that matter to me. The most recent book that I want to talk about is called Polyvagal Perspectives, Interventions, Practices, and Strategies. And we're going to talk today about the neuroscience of you is what we're really going to talk about today with Dr. Porges. Finally, welcome to the show, neighbor. Good to have you here. Well, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. And sometime it will be face-to-face. Yes, I told you my location will now be disclosed now that we're looking forward to it.
So can we do something basic, first of all?
What is neuroception and how does it affect our perception of safety?
Because I really believe that what you've been doing for a long time is going to become... The modern day conversation in kind of my area of human change, understanding oneself. You call it being a witness to ourselves is actually what I've seen in your work, which I love that term. So everybody lean in today if you want to improve and change your life or maybe just understand yourself better. Can you start just overall basic about yourself? What's going on inside of us? You call it neuroception, the vagus nerve, all that thrown into one bunch. Just start us out with some fundamental basic stuff so that we can have a conversation beyond that.
I'll start off by really saying we've all been misled. We've been misled from almost the moment we were born, certainly from the moment we walked into a classroom.
