Want to Learn the Language of Your Nervous System?

Polyvagal Theory offers a gentle and practical framework for understanding stress, safety, and connection—both within yourself and in relationship with others.

At New Pathways, this language shapes how we think about mental health and healing. It helps us move beyond “what’s wrong” and toward a deeper understanding of how the nervous system responds to the world around us—through the body and in relationship with others.
