The Work is Not to Direct, But Allow: Healing is Inherent Unlock the secret to deep healing: it’s not fixing, but allowing. In "The Work is Not to Direct, But Allow: Healing is Inherent," author Shay Seaborne, CPTSD, teams up with Della the IPNB Ladybug™ to make the complex science of trauma and resilience accessible to all. Inspired by the profound listening of Dr. Seth Torregiani, a craniosacral practitioner, this book explores the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), demonstrating the body's inherent capacity for balance and connection. Through concepts like felt safety, attunement, and relational presence, the book shows how the nervous system can begin to rebuild pathways impeded by trauma and move away from threat detection and protection. Featuring Shay Seaborne's original illustrations—rendered in watercolors, ink, and psychiatric hospital pencil—this is a compassionate guide for survivors and providers alike. Discover how to create the safe, connected space for your system to remember what is already true: you are meant for balance, joy, and relationship.
