The Triple Vagal Method® (TVM™)

TVM™ is… Somatic Trauma Therapy.

The Triple Vagal Method is a somatic trauma transformation method that aims to release and heal trauma while increasing vagal tone through physical manipulation of the main branches of the vagus nerve.
The vagus nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves responsible for our survival, thus activating forces and resources within us responsible for the responses of flight, fight, fear, freeze, relax and social engagement (forming relationships, feeling and showing love) in the body.

How?
I work in each TVM™ session on the branches of the vagus nerve which are responsible for these responses. This is done by touching and pressing points on the body that are connected to the vagus nerve.

Why?
– Because you may be suffering from these reactions of fear and rigidity or flight/struggle from a “trivial” situation in which you are actually safe, when in fact you are only longing for closeness and connection and cannot allow this due to one or more unprocessed (childhood) experiences that are triggered or recalled in this situation.

Procedure
In this trauma therapy, through the application of the Triple Vagal Method (TVM™), you do not have to talk or analyze; this all happens through your wonderful body where the traumas or events are “trapped” or stored. This is done through gentle physical touch and stimulation of the nervous system, holding space and being present to end this trauma cycle, heal the deregulation and dissociation to restore safety in the body.

TVM™Pelvic Floor Trauma Transformation 

Introduction:

TVM Pelvic Floor Trauma Transformation combines polyvagal theory-based somatic work “The Triple Vagal Method TVM” and other healing modalities I include in this transformative therapy. It aims to release trauma at a cellular/fascial level, treating the whole being rather than just the pelvic floor or sexual organs. It’s a whole-body therapy work.

Session Details:

Focus Areas:

1. Physical body and physiological structures
2. Emotional body, psychology, and neurological well-being
3. Psycho-somatic connection
4. There is no time limit. Sessions take as long as you need, to go completely through processes, they might come up, to let your system know you survived the actual trauma event and be able to feel safe again. (Usually 4 to 7 hours)

Goals: Remove emotional blockages, enhance awareness, encourage personal growth, and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Indications:

This therapy addresses various symptoms trapped in the pelvic floor, including:

1. Stress and tension in tissues (e.g. incontinence, collapse, laxity)
2. Depression related to body disconnection
3. Addictions
4. Insomnia
5. Body dysmorphia and low confidence
6. Pelvic floor pains
7. Menopausal symptoms
8. Fertility issues
9. Loss of sexual interest
10. Difficulty in experiencing orgasm or disconnection from the pelvic floor
11. The feeling of shame and guilt and self-worth
12. Vaginismus/Pain during intercourse
13. Fear of sex, intimacy, or love
14. Difficulty maintaining relationships
15. Challenges in speaking the truth or resolving conflict
16. Insecurity, lack of trust, and confidence issues
17. Inability to surrender completely while love-making
18. Premature ejaculation or erection problems
19. Other pelvic floor dysfunctions
20. Deep generational traumas

Practitioner’s Role:

– Develop individualized treatment plans.

– Ensure client comfort, with bodywork performed with or without clothes.

– Provide a chaperone upon request.

– Begin with an initial consultation to set goals and address concerns.

– Working with TVM™ staying present and patient with the client at any time and at any point of the treatment

Treatment Process:

1. Initial Consultation: Discuss goals and set a treatment plan.
2. Physical Preparation: Engage in somatic movements and stretching. (Special Yoga asanas to activate and relax the pelvic floor will be done together)
3. Deep Tissue Stimulation: Awaken numb areas and release trapped emotional trauma.
4. Pelvic Floor Transformation: Clear deep trauma and restore anatomical and emotional integrity through deep fascial work 

What to Expect:

Sessions may induce a range of emotional and physical releases, similar to crying. This helps shift negative emotions like sadness, fear, shame, guilt, and anger, making the pelvic floor more positive and balanced. 

This “Bottom-up approach”- is working with the body to release trauma not a “Top-down” like Talk therapy

– Other than in most therapies, we include the pelvic floor, which can include the genitals and the anal part of the body

Every touch and work will only be done with the 100 % consent of the client. This can be re-decided at any moment.

– It is not a sexual service, or massage!

– Treats the entire being, not just sexual organs or pelvic floor.

Benefits:

1. Feeling secure, safe, confident, and relaxed
2. Opening your sexuality through trauma release
3. Enhancing intimacy with yourself
4. Trusting your body and opening your heart
5. Improved communication due to the deep line of fascia – the pelvic floor-throat connection
6. Greater connection with your being, intuition, and inner awareness
7. Connecting with the wisdom of the pelvic floor and deep core

Preparation for Your Session:

– Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol, drugs, stimulants, and excess sugar or food. No perfumes. Avoid having Sex 1 day before and at least 2 days after the session. 

– Be freshly bathed.

– If the session is at your place, prepare the room with extra towels, two sheets, pillows, and water.

– Allocate a day or two to integrate the session, which lasts 3-7 hours with breaks. 

– Have light food prepared for the break

– Have some System interruptions (will be explained) like

dark chocolate, an essential oil you like (organic lavender, sandalwood, rosemary..) 

Final Notes:

All points will be reviewed in person before starting. Consent and questionnaire forms are required before treatment.

In service to your radical love and transformation.
