Protocol and S.A.F.E. Boundaries Model for the week ahead 📖 Referenced: Polyvagal Theory (Dr. Stephen Porges), Ezekiel 37, Psalm 23, EMDR bilateral stimulation 💙 Restoring You Christian Counseling: https://www.restoringyouchristiancounseling.com/ #nervoussystemhealing #traumarecovery #DorsalVagal #spiritualtrauma #polyvagaltheory #freezeresponse #christiancounseling #elishasspace #cultrecovery #somatichealing
