Dr. Stephen Porges has released a new paper with a comprehensive update on Polyvagal Theory that reflects over 55 years of pioneering research. This open-access publication in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience offers insights into how our nervous system influences safety, connection, and well-being.

At Boulder Center for NeuroHealth, we use components from Dr. Porges' research to guide how we support nervous system regulation and healing for people with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), helping foster safety, connection, and resilience.

We’d love to hear from you — how have you seen Polyvagal Theory applied in healing or nervous system work? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Many people with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) also live with chronic pain. This pain is very real — even when it doesn’t show up on scans or tests.

Why does this happen?
🔹 The nervous system in FND can process signals differently
🔹 The brain’s “danger signals” may stay switched on
🔹 Stress, sensory overload, and fatigue can make pain worse

Living with both FND and pain is really difficult, but you’re not alone. There is a community that understands what you are going through. And, sharing your experience helps raise awareness and reduce stigma.

What resources do you use to manage pain?

People living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) can and do experience recovery—even after many years. With the right support and nervous system retraining, life can open up to more possibilities, whether that means returning to school, work, or daily activities that bring meaning.

Research highlights key parts of recovery, including:

- Clear and compassionate explanations of FND
- Gentle movement and physical therapy
- Team-based care that looks at the whole person

What does recovery mean to you? Whether it’s a small shift or a big step, your story matters and may inspire someone else. And, if you need a team to support your healing, contact Boulder Center for NeuroHealth - we would love to hear from you.

Healing is built on small, consistent shifts: one new breath, one gentle movement, one supportive pause. These simple practices help nurture nervous system health and open the door to growth and change.

Did you know? Research shows that when patients receive a clear, compassionate explanation of their diagnosis, they’re more likely to engage in their care—and recover more fully.

When we understand why something is happening, it can turn fear into clarity, and uncertainty into action.

Has a health professional ever explained something to you in a way that truly made a difference? Tell us your story—it might help someone else today.

Why Do People Develop FND?
FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) doesn’t have a single cause—it's a complex condition with many contributing factors. Here’s a breakdown:

Underlying Factors: These are present before symptoms start, like genetics, chronic illness (MS, Parkinson’s), trauma history, or a sensitive nervous system.

Triggering Factors: Life stress, illness, injury, or sudden overwhelming events that trigger symptoms.

Maintaining Factors: Once symptoms start, anxiety, stigma, isolation, or lack of support can keep them going longer.

FND is a biopsychosocial condition, meaning it’s shaped by:
🧬 Biological: Genetic or neurological sensitivities
🧠 Psychological: How we process stress, worry, or trauma
🌍 Social: Our environments, relationships, and support systems

FND symptoms are real physical responses from a nervous system in distress. Understanding these factors helps us support one another and raise awareness. 💙
