I just love being with you all.”

Stephen W. Porges, Ph.D. is Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium. He is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, and Professor Emeritus at both the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland.
He served as president of the Society for Psychophysiological Research and the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences and is a former recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development Award. He has published more than 400 peer-reviewed papers across several disciplines including anesthesiology, biomedical engineering, critical care medicine, ergonomics, exercise physiology, gerontology, neurology, neuroscience, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, psychometrics, space medicine, and substance abuse.
In 1994 he proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. The theory is leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in several behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders.
He is the author of The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-regulation (Norton, 2011), The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe, (Norton, 2017), co-editor of Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory: The Emergence of Polyvagal-Informed Therapies (Norton, 2018) and author of Polyvagal Safety: Attachment, Communication, Self-Regulation (Norton 2021). Dr. Porges is the creator of a music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol ™ (SSP), which is used by therapists to improve social engagement, language processing, and state regulation, as well as to reduce hearing sensitivities.

“…grief has always been such an overwhelming emotion for me…and I can see this really working and changing lives and being manageable.
…I just want to learn everything I can about it and to be present to experience grief and not fall down. That is huge. That’s so hopeful.”
– Debbie
“It was a huge change for me; I’ve been seeing so many practitioners and therapists and physical therapists and bodyworkers, and I’ve always been all over the place. With Dr. Aimie’s talk today… I felt like I’m home…”
– Roberta Holstein
“What’s awesome about this class is that she (Dr. Aimie) gave you such a cutting edge information that you don’t learn it from medical school and nursing school. This is so interesting, and you can apply this knowledge to treat the patient right away.
Wow. This is a game changer for me and for my patients.”
– Sutida Majarone
It was just so easily integrated, I didn’t have to try hard to make sure I was getting that material in. And I think that really speaks to how you’ve taught it to us as well.
For me it felt like I could just be more confident in being myself. I didn’t have to work hard at the material.
– Brandi Mackenzie
