The Power of Feeling Safe: How Kindness Restores Resilience | Ling Lam, Ph.D. | TEDxBelmontShore

Polyvagal Theory is the science of feeling safe. When we don't feel safe, our body activates survival programs that can also create suffering. This talk explores the interconnectedness of resilience, safety, and kindness - and how in each moment through acts of kindness and the power of feeling safe, we can restore the intrinsic resilience in our body. Ling Lam, Ph.D., is a Lecturer in Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University, a licensed psychotherapist, and a former engineer who worked on the world's first HDMI chip. He believes in the strength and resilience of every person, and that the goal of psychotherapy is not just to alleviate pain but also to restore aliveness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
