Helping You Befriend Your Nervous System to Find Safety in the Present
Specialized and Science-Based Polyvagal Therapy for Nervous System Regulation in Mississauga & Across Ontario
If you often feel "wired but tired," chronically overwhelmed, or completely shut down, your nervous system may be stuck in a state of survival. When our bodies perceive constant stress, we lose the ability to feel safe and connected to others. Polyvagal Therapy focuses on the Vagus Nerve to help you move out of "fight-or-flight" and back into a state of social engagement. At Inner Wellness Psychotherapy, we provide a safe environment to help you map your nervous system and regain control over your physiological responses.

Understanding Polyvagal Therapy
Polyvagal Therapy is a revolutionary approach based on the Polyvagal Theory, which explains how our nervous system automatically responds to safety and danger. It focuses on the Vagus Nerve, which is the “information superhighway” between the brain and the body. By learning to influence this nerve, you can shift from a state of panic or shut-down into a state of calm, safety, and connection.
Common Challenges Addressed with Polyvagal Therapy
Chronic Stress and Burnout: Managing the feeling of being perpetually overwhelmed.
Anxiety and Hyper-vigilance: Calming the “fight-or-flight” response.
Depression and Dissociation: Addressing the “freeze” or “shutdown” state.
Emotional Dysregulation: Learning to stay grounded during intense feelings.
Trauma Recovery: Healing the physiological “stuckness” following trauma.
Difficulty with Connection: Overcoming the feeling of being “unsafe” in social settings.
How Polyvagal Therapy Helps
Our approach focuses on “Nervous System Mapping.” We help you identify where you are on the polyvagal ladder—whether you are in a state of Safety (Ventral Vagal), Mobilization (Sympathetic), or Immobilization (Dorsal Vagal). Through specific exercises and trauma-informed care, we provide the tools to help you navigate back to a state of calm and social engagement whenever you feel triggered.
The Benefits of Polyvagal Therapy

Better Sleep and Digestion: Physiological healing through Vagus Nerve health.
Improved Social Connection: Feeling safer and more open with loved ones.
Emotional Awareness: Understanding your body’s signals before they become overwhelming.
