Created by Deb Dana — the leading clinical translator of Stephen Porges's polyvagal theory — this 58-card deck brings nervous system awareness into an accessible, everyday format. Whether you're a clinician, therapist, or someone on a personal healing journey, these cards offer practical prompts and practices for understanding where you are in your autonomic nervous system and how to gently shift toward regulation and calm.
The deck is grouped into four sections, each targeting a different layer of the autonomic hierarchy:
Ventral — practices for deepening safety, connection, and regulation
Sympathetic — tools for working with activation, fight, and flight responses
Dorsal — support for shutdown, disconnection, and stillness states
Bonus Section — exploring play, stillness, and meaningful change
Therapists and clinicians looking for session-opening or session-closing tools
Individuals seeking daily nervous system support and self-regulation practices
Anyone curious about polyvagal theory and how to apply it to everyday life
58 cards with polyvagal concepts, prompts, and practices
Author: Deb Dana, LCSW
