The Somatic Workbook for Nervous System Regulation and Anxiety Management: 85+ Body-Based Practices for Deepening Awareness, Navigating Emotions, and Building Resilience
Healing doesn't just happen through thinking—it unfolds as you learn to be with your body.

Your nervous system has not evolved to keep up with the modern world—a mismatch that can leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, angry, or despondent. What if the key to healing your emotional pain lies not just in talking about your problems, but in exploring and processing the nervous system responses held within your body?

In The Somatic Workbook for Nervous System Regulation and Anxiety Management, you’ll come to understand the intricate relationship between your mind and body to gently begin to heal the effects of chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Drawing on transformative frameworks such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems (IFS), polyvagal theory, and other mindfulness-based approaches, you'll learn how to:

  • Ground and center yourself during moments of overwhelm or underwhelm
  • Cultivate the inner sense of safety and connection that you long for
  • Release trapped emotional energy and tension stored in the body
  • Build your capacity to manage the ups and downs of life
  • Stop your “inner parts” from hijacking your mind, body, and behavior
  • Build a sustainable self-care routine that honors your body’s wisdom

Whether you are struggling with overwhelming stress and anxiety or are simply seeking to deepen your connection with your body and emotions, this workbook offers the step-by-step guidance you need to feel, heal, and return to wholeness.
