Polyvagal Ladder Poster Nervous System Regulation Chart

This Polyvagal Ladder poster is a nervous system regulation chart with three rungs: Ventral Safe, Sympathetic Mobilized, and Dorsal Shutdown. Each level names the state in plain language, I am safe, I need to go, and I cannot, then lists common feelings, body cues, and relationship signs.

A footer reminds viewers that they can climb back up with small steps, kindness, connection, and tools that help them return to what feels safe. Therapists, somatic practitioners, school counselors, and occupational therapists can use it as a session visual and classroom regulation aid.

Hang it in a therapy office, trauma-informed classroom, or wellness room. Available as a poster unframed, Canvas ready to hang or Digital Download.
