Vagus Adventures Masterclass Series
In this series we explore the edges of Polyvagal Theory and practice, diving into three key areas of Addiction, Spirituality, and Psychotherapy/Coaching. As more and more folks become familiar with Polyvagal theory in the mental health field, we are gaining a better understanding of the nervous system’s role in the body. However, as we share our experiences and explore various contexts, many are questioning and challenging different interpretations of the theory. This is an exciting moment for our work!

Healing after betrayal is not a linear or purely cognitive process. From a nervous system perspective, experiences of betrayal can shift neuroception toward danger, increasing protective responses such as vigilance, mobilization, or shutdown. These are adaptive responses that reflect the body’s attempt to preserve safety in the face of relational rupture.
In this live episode of the Embodied Dialogues podcast, Jan Winhall is joined by Carrie Halladay to explore how betrayal trauma reshapes our capacity for safety, connection, and trust. Together, they offer a grounded and hopeful pathway forward for those navigating the aftermath of betrayal.
Through a Felt Sense Polyvagal lens, this conversation moves into the lived experience of the body. Jan and Carrie explore why trust can feel inaccessible after betrayal and how healing begins with restoring a felt sense of safety, rather than through insight alone.
This dialogue speaks to both personal healing and professional practice, highlighting how shifts toward ventral vagal regulation support the re-emergence of connection and trust over time.
