OMG...the therapist I was seeing and even the functional medicine people were pushing this .....😩God it's just like every other FAD that those people hook into and don't question.....MOLD illness, LYME, Epstein Barr Virus😖. Those things are not not a thing but that's what they all start diagnosing everyone with.....jumping on the bandwagon without using much logic.....or their brains....And yes, if you have anxiety....or digestive issues...gotta chill the vagus nerve....I almost bought this little vibrator thing that you put on your chest to vibrate the vagus nerve.......😲😡We need people to do proper investigation and studies...and practitioners need to use the pubmed to research how they choose to treat patients....not just hop on the trendy wagon🙄🙄🙄Sorry, this obviously hit a button 😆
I’ve shied away from reading any of the information I see that mentions ‘polyvagal’ because the word sounds like a mangy British 1960s upholstery. The email title threw me. I put off my morning Anxious Truth until 3 pm when I was brave and then relieved. 😂
I think everyone wants a quick fix. Supplements, acupuncture, myofascial release, vagus nerve manipulation, even medication. Do this and you will get your life back. My doctor literally said that to me when prescribing an SSRI for me. It messed with my identity as always having been able to handle things though. Not that medication, acupuncture or other things haven’t helped people. But they’re not other a quick fix. Recovery takes hard work and way more time than you want it to. And there is no timeline. My husband recently noted how what my therapist is doing is working. I countered what I am doing is working. I am putting all the work in, my therapist is just a guide. If I am not doing the hard work nothing will happen. That’s my rant for the day. LOL

Oh dear Drew. I was afraid this would happen when you start being academic on us. I hope the system won't take you away from us more mortals.
