Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory by Deborah Dana

This book is a premium first copy, similar to the original but not the original.

In this book, Deb Dana translates complex neuroscience into simple, practical language so readers can learn how their nervous system responds to safety, stress, and connection. The main idea is that many emotional struggles (like anxiety, shutdown, overwhelm, or emotional numbness) are not “personality flaws,” but instead are nervous system states.
