Feel to Heal: Releasing Trauma Through Body Awareness and Breathwork Practice

by Giten Tonkov, Kristin Donnan (Editor)

In this revolutionary approach to living well, a pioneering trauma-release therapist puts relief in reach—with a multi-modal practice that can be done at home. Activating the body’s natural healing processes has been proven to lift the oppressive effects of trauma—PTSD, chronic tension, pain, irritability, difficulty in relationships, and a lackluster daily experience. In this volume, practitioner and worldwide trainer Giten Tonkov expands on successful body-based, trauma-release therapies to teach average people how to break the trauma cycle, improve relationships, and achieve healthier, more fulfilling day-to-day lives. His holistic approach integrates deep, connected breathing with movement, conscious touch, emotional expression, sound, and meditation to allow the body to intuitively heal itself. Periodically releasing trauma creates a “clean slate”; it also helps people to learn better how to deal with trauma when it occurs. Giten has taught thousands of people on five continents to shift how they function—at a foundational, physical level—through his thoughtful approach and clear exercises. This is the first time he has crafted this information for the sole practitioner.

Good educational book on how you can heal with breathing and yoga. Lots of stories, no practical exercises for people without the expertise.

[Stargazer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good even if you're not a practitioner
I found this a worthy companion to other somatic healing books such as Peter Levine as books I am researching for my own personal healing. see amazon for lengthier reviews.

This mostly prepares the reader to work with a practitioner. While there is some information (1 chapter's worth) about solo work it isn't the focus of the book.

Really enjoyed the science, practical applications, story telling and left the book feeling empowered and inspired to to heal and release trauma stored in the body safely. The best book on breathing I’ve read in 2022.
