Polyvagal Theory and Trauma is a technique of the Paret Method in the polivagal category that integrates the neurophysiological understanding of the autonomic nervous system with the magnetic and presential methodologies of the Paret method for resolving survival emotions, rage, and terror rooted in the vagal nervous system.
Definition
The technique is rooted in the polyvagal theory, recognizing how the vagus nerve (particularly its different dorsal and ventral branches) encodes ancestral survival states in the body. In the Paret framework, this is addressed not through simple verbal dialogue, but through the activation of presence, magnetism, and structured magnetic passes to bring the nervous system back to a state of regulation and somatic safety.
When to use
- When the client presents survival trauma with chronic activation of the autonomic nervous system
- In the presence of rage (instinctive anger) and terror (unprocessed terror) rooted in the body
- To release blocked energy localized in the main nerve plexuses
- During the transition between hypnotic states to anchor the subject in somatic safety
Components and steps
- Somatic anamnesis: ask where the client feels the discomfort and when it began
- Induction via Arkeos: closure of ordinary senses to access the non-verbal magnetic level
- Sequential magnetic passes on the 10 plexuses: starting from the forehead (thumb passes), eyebrows (index), ears (middle), jaw (last two fingers), always leading toward the solar plexus
- Linking between levels: close the fist, extend backward, connect forward to the underlying plexus (temples → corpora quadrigemina, etc.)
- Presential stabilization: application of the hand with extended fingers on the solar plexus, maintaining presence and point of reference
- Magnetic voice (if indicated): use of the magnetic voice to anchor the achieved vagal regulation
Distinctions
- vs Mesmeric Crisis: the crisis is the convulsive discharge phenomenon; Polyvagal Trauma addresses the root cause in the autonomic nervous system
- vs simple Magnetic Passes: the passes here follow a specific plexial topography aimed at releasing blocked energy in the nerve centers, not just general induction
- vs verbal trauma techniques: Polyvagal Trauma in the Paret remains non-verbal, acting directly on magnetic physiology
Courses where it is taught
- Hyperadvanced Course 2024, Day 2
- Possibly in advanced modules of Mesmerismus® Course Level 3 [to be confirmed by Marco]
Notes
- The technique integrates studies by Peter Levine on trauma physiology, readapted in the Paret magnetic paradigm [to be confirmed by Marco]
- Common mistake: confusing linking between plexuses with simple passes; linking must be energetic and intentional, not mechanical
- Essential to maintain stable presence: the magnetist must themselves be regulated to avoid transferring destabilization to the client
