Your mind and your body are in constant conversation. Most of us were never taught to listen. This book teaches the language, in three movements: understanding, where you learn the biology of the stress system and why it gets stuck; feeling, where you find out where emotions actually live in your body and what happens when it holds what the mind has tried to move past; and living, where pain, belief, and a practice you can sustain come together. Written by a psychologist who learned this on the floor of an empty house before she had any of the words for it. Every chapter ends with a practice you can do in minutes. Eight chapters, and an eight-week companion workbook.
