    Understanding the Polyvagal Theory and How it Relates to SM

    There is so much that goes on physiologically when someone has Selective Mutism - there is a tightening the the throat, the inability to make eye contact, a frozen expression. And why is this? I believe it relates to the vagus nerve and the Polyvagal Theory. This podcast episode explores the PolyVagal Theory to help understand what may be happening when someone is unable to speak in certain situations.   To connect on this topic, email smhelp2020@gmail.com   For more information about the 2nd Annual Selective Mutism Foundation Annual conference, visit www.smhelp.org/smf-conference

    How to Talk to Family Members About Selective Mutism

    Selective Mutism is not a well-known anxiety disorder. When people don't understand something, they may have a hard time believing in it. Our job as parents is to educate everyone who comes in contact with our child about SM, but to do it in a way where it is well received. In this episode, hear strategies that may help you educate your own family members about SM.
