'Understanding our nervous system and somatic healing hold the key for many of us in overcoming anxiety - Anna's book shows us the way.' Chloe Brotheridge - bestselling author of The Anxiety Solution. Feeling anxious and disconnected are signs of a nervous system that's out of balance.Something as small as a curt message from your boss can be perceived by your body as a threat to life. But, by understanding your physiological stress response, you can override and heal your emotional response, and fix the behaviours sabotaging your health and happiness. In The Vagus Nerve Reset, mental health expert and anxiety therapist Anna Ferguson offers somatic therapies alongside the science of Polyvagal Theory to help you train your nervous system to start responding more calmly to day-to-day stressors and heal past experiences. By tuning into your vagus nerve you can gently shape your nervous system for greater resilience, providing relief from debilitating anxiety and symptoms of chronic illness and leading to a lasting positive influence on your overall health and wellbeing. Including a programme of mindful movement, breathwork and meditation, journalling, and more, this comprehensive guide will help you to become more aware of your nervous system and notice what derails you so you can transform the way you respond to every kind of challenge in life. Accessible, compassionate and grounded in science, The Vagus Nerve Reset will allow you to find anchors of safety amongst the chaos, reclaim a sense of control and step into the most confident, resilient and grounded version of yourself.
