BodyTalk

Continuing the conversation started in The Body Keeps the Score and The Complex PTSD Workbook, BodyTalk is unique guide to reestablishing connection to your body in order to process difficult emotions, improve mental health, and feel secure in your own skin. Everything in your life comes down to how connected you are to your own body. Your relationships, your career, even your self-worth and self-respect are all a reflection of the relationship you have with your body. When things feel out of alignment, overwhelming or “too much,” it's a sign that you've already lost communication with yourself and the physical sensations within your body that let you know something is not right. The challenge is that many of us have difficulty even fathoming what a healthy relationship with our body is. We are overscheduled, overcommitted, and overwhelmed, making it difficult to pay attention to what is happening in the present moment. When the body has been a source of pain, anguish, and trauma, it feels impossible to return to it in a positive way. Many of us have spent years disconnected from our physical sensations, and the thought of reestablishing a healthy connection to the body feels impossible and we don’t even know where to begin. Enter BodyTalk, a unique guide to reestablishing connection to your body in order to process difficult emotions, improve mental health, and feel secure in your own skin. Through daily movement exercises and mindful reflection, readers can easily reestablish healthy boundaries and relationships with their own bodies in order to move through challenging emotions and feelings, as well as begin to find balance and a sense of vitality. Over 365 days, you will be guided into more awareness as you're gently challenged to connect and communicate with your body. Through a combination of movement exercises and body-centered journal prompts, you can find your way back to yourself -- your worth, value, confidence, even identity.
