Dana is the author of several books and resources, including "The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy: Engaging the Rhythm of Regulation," "Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection: 50 Client Centered Practices," "Polyvagal Practices: Anchoring the Self in Safety," the "Polyvagal Card Deck: 58 Practices for Calm and Change," the "Polyvagal Flip Chart: Understanding the Science of Safety," "Befriending Your Nervous System: Looking Through the Lens of Polyvagal Theory," and "Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory." In her writing, Dana presents Polyvagal Theory in accessible language and offers practical strategies for applying its principles to everyday life.
