• This presentation will explore the body’s need for intimate engagement and social bonding from an adaptive perspective.
• Within the theoretical context of the Polyvagal Theory, the presentation will illustrate how specific features in our social environment may trigger neurophysiological systems, through a process of “neuroception,” that enables us either to be fearful and disengage or to feel safe and enter enduring intimate relations.
• Explain how deficits in the regulation of the Social Engagement System are core features of several psychiatric disorders.
