Polyvagal Theory & Co-Regulation for First Responders | Dr. Fleet Maull on Nervous System Resilience

How do we stay calm, clear, and connected in high-stress environments like corrections, law enforcement, and public safety? December 7, 2022 - Mindful Public Safety Hour In this session, Dr. Fleet Maull, PhD, CMTP—founder of the Prison Mindfulness Institute and Center for Mindfulness in Public Safety—introduces Polyvagal Theory and co-regulation as powerful, practical tools for front-line professionals. Drawing on decades of work in mindfulness-based, trauma-informed training for first responders, Dr. Maull explains how our autonomic nervous system, vagus nerve, and mirror neurons shape our reactions under stress—and how we can self-regulate instead of being hijacked by fight, flight, or freeze. You’ll learn: • What Polyvagal Theory is and why it matters for public safety professionals • The three core nervous system states: social engagement, mobilization (fight/flight), and shutdown (freeze) • How neuroception constantly scans for threat or safety—on and off the job • Simple breath-based regulation tools (like straw breathing) you can use anytime, anywhere • How to co-regulate with others through posture, facial expression, voice tone, and eye contact—on scene, in the workplace, and at home • Why “un-mirroring” from the work environment is essential for healthy relationships and life outside the job This conversation is especially relevant for: • Correctional officers & custody staff • Law enforcement & first responders • Public safety leaders & peer support teams • Mental health and wellness coordinators working with high-stress professions _____________ About Dr. Fleet Maull Dr. Maull is an author, mindfulness teacher, executive coach, and a pioneer in mindfulness-based emotional intelligence, wellness, and resiliency training.
