The original 6-column table, above (click on it for full size view), contributes a more nuanced and user-friendly understanding of the Autonomic Nervous System, including integration of theories of Peter Levine and Stephen Porges. Discussion of its principles and applications is detailed in Chapter 2 of Revolutionizing Trauma Treatment (paperback version of The Body Remembers, Volume 2). A copy of it is included as a full color insert in the book and the English version of this table is also available inexpensively as a laminated card or large poster from WW Norton as well as Amazon and online book sellers around the world.
The ANS laminated card is a particularly useful therapeutic tool. Use it, for example, with dry-erase markers (do not use permanent markers) to track your own or a client’s arousal variations throughout a therapy session.
TRANSLATIONS of this table are available in (currently) 26 languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese (Mandarin), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian/Croatian, Slovenian, Spanish, Tamil, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
