About this listen

Somatic Therapy Allows Us to Regain Control Over Our Emotions and Break Free From the Impact of Our Past.

When a traumatic event occurs, our body triggers its “fight or flight” response. In many scenarios, the emotional reactions of this response get trapped, disrupting the feedback loop between our mind and body, leading to an imbalance in our nervous system function. Over time this can cause chronic stress, pain, high blood pressure, and a weakened immune system. This, alongside regular triggers in our everyday life, will manifest into a disconnection between our mind and body and create a constant feeling of dissociation from our emotions, with minimal control over how we feel.

Somatic therapy combats this dissociation by targeting the root of the issue. By employing a range of exercises and tools with a body-orientated approach, we can enhance our mind-body connection and restore balance to our nervous system. Helping us break free from the cycle of reliving past events and providing us (and our bodies) with the ability to handle future experiences more effectively.

The tools throughout this workbook to aid with this process include:

Science-based information to understand what is going on inside us and why mind-body connection is so crucial

Thought-provoking journal exercises and prompts

Exercises that safely revisit our past to overcome what is buried inside of us

Grounding techniques that help us stay calm and centered in our daily lives, enabling us to turn inward when we need it the most.

Body-awareness exercises designed to enhance our connection with ourselves by making us more conscious of our physical sensations and responses.

Somatic yoga routine to achieve a desired state of mind, morning or night.

Exercises to help manage built-up tension and stress.

And many more valuable tools.

This book will give you the tools to process your past, reconnect with your body, and regain your emotional and physical well-being.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
