Trauma Informed Systems

Although many forms of trauma treatment rely solely on talk therapy as a means of healing, we cannot "talk out" every issue related to trauma. Indeed, trauma is stored in the body and the brain and must be treated as such. Designed with both mental health clinicians and clients in mind, Trauma-Informed Yoga offers forty-seven short, simple practices that regulate the autonomic nervous system, calm the racing mind, and center those of us living chaotic twenty-first century lives.

The Nervous System Regulation Workbook gives you 100 body-based exercises to work with your nervous system instead of against it. Grounded in polyvagal theory, somatic practices, and current research on stress physiology, this workbook helps you...
