Heal the Body, Heal the Mind

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, extreme fatigue or the after-effects of trauma, this innovative book will teach you to become your own healer. Brittany Piper spent most of her life with traditional therapists, recounting the painful stories of her trauma again and again. But returning to those shocking events repeatedly made her feel even more stuck than before. Finally, she decided to take the process of her own healing into her own hands. Along this journey, Brittany discovered new science explaining how and why trauma lives in our bodies – not in the story of what happened to us. With encouragement, sensitivity and compassion, Brittany, a specialised trauma practitioner, gently guides you through somatic exercises designed to help remove the "protective armour" of the past and return you to your true self – the person you were before the trauma.
