🧠💥 POLYVAGAL THEORY (aka “Why you snapped at your partner, cried in Tesco, and then needed a nap… all in the same hour.”)

Let’s make it simple. Like, ponies-in-a-field simple. 🐴

Because your nervous system? She’s dramatic. She has moods. And she doesn’t always let your brain know what she’s doing.

So let’s meet the three ponies of Polyvagal Theory:

🖤 Fight-or-Flight Pony – jumpy, twitchy, ready to bolt because someone looked at them funny. Will probably scream if you drop a spoon.
(Yes, this is why you couldn't reply to that text. Or got irrationally angry at the slow WiFi.)

🤍 Safe and Social Pony – this pony is vibing. Makes eye contact. Can handle a chat. Will help you carry your emotional bags AND make you a cuppa.
(This is the version of you that’s brushing your horse, laughing with a mate, and actually responding to emails.)

🤎 Shutdown Pony – she’s DONE. Over it. Can’t even. Has entered energy-saving mode like an old laptop.
(Not lazy. Not rude. Just nervous system: unplugged.)

💡Polyvagal Theory says:
You’re not broken.
You’re not overreacting.
Your body is just trying to protect you — sometimes in ways that feel ridiculous (but make total sense underneath).

Funny how some folks read a random post and get offended, like it’s a personal call-out. Relax. Not everything revolves around you.

If your guilt’s that loud, maybe it’s not about the post. Maybe it’s about you. That’s not shade, that’s a mirror. Don’t blame others for feeling seen when you’re the one who stepped into the light.

In this chaotic world, be kind to yourself. No one really has that much free time to keep talking about you, everyone’s caught up with their own lives. Don’t sink into being too self-absorbed or too negative. Once you learn to let go, you’ll feel lighter, happier, and your insecurities will slowly fade away.

Stay calm, be unbothered, curl up with a good book, get a cat if your heart calls for it, and simply mind your own little world. That’s where happiness quietly lives 🤍
