I really enjoyed this book. As a past trauma survivor it's so important to make sure that you take care of your body and listen to what triggers and helping in the healing process. This book is a great resource for someone who's looking to learn more about somatic therapy and also learn some good tips. Really enjoyed the parts about self-care, setting boundaries and breathing and being present.

"Somatic therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the connection between the mind and the body."

We know that what affects the mind affects the body and what affects the body affects the mind.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of somatic therapy, diving into various techniques and practices to promote self-exploration and healing. From understanding the body-mind connection to addressing specific challenges like anxiety and panic, the book covers a wide range of topics with clarity and depth.

It has chapters on body-centered mindfulness practices, movement therapies, touch therapies, and pendulation techniques. It shows the importance of integrating somatic therapy with talk therapy and mindfulness meditation to further enhance its effectiveness in promoting holistic well-being.

It emphasizes building a personalized somatic self-care routine, providing readers with practical tools and guidance to design a routine that suits their individual needs and preferences. It also helps in understanding and addressing triggers and challenges along the way.

Overall, this book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring somatic therapy as a means of self-exploration, healing, and personal growth. With its accessible writing style and comprehensive coverage of somatic techniques, it offers readers practical insights and tools to cultivate a deeper connection with their bodies and minds.

There is some good stuff in here, but it wasn't exactly where I "am" right now, so it wasn't serving me in the way that I had hoped it would.

Since there’s been so much social media hype about somatic therapy, and I’m interested in trauma healing, I was eager to learn more about what it entails. According to this book, I’ve been doing all of these practices for many years; in most cases, for decades. Is “somatic therapy” a new bundling term, similar to “co-poo” (terrible term for obvious reasons), which is simply applying conditioner in the shower but no shampoo?

I’m off to read another somatic therapy book to see if there’s something more I can glean or something new to learn.
