Ilene Naomi Rusk: The Vagus Nerve Workbook for Anxiety, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A gentle body-based approach to healing anxiety from the inside out.

If you struggle with anxiety or worry, you may feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, overthinking, or shutdown. You may have tried everything you can to "fix" how you feel, without lasting relief. The truth is that anxiety isn't just in your thoughts; it lives inside your body. This workbook offers a fresh, compassionate approach, helping you understand your nervous system and why it responds the way it does.

Grounded in polyvagal theory and evidence-based neuroscience, this innovative workbook reframes anxiety as your body's attempt to keep you safe and shows you how to work with your body's responses rather than against them.

In this self-paced workbook, you'll learn how to:

• Recognize your nervous system states and how they shape your emotions
• Calm anxiety and overwhelm using somatic practices and vagus nerve exercises
• Build skills for self-regulation and coregulation
• Develop self-compassion and reduce shame around anxiety
• Understand how past experiences and ancestral stress patterns live in the body
• Create personalized routines that support calm, resilience, and joy

Somatic exercises are blended with reflection, mindfulness, and spiritual practices to help you build awareness, flexibility, and a greater capacity to live the life you want. You'll learn to move out of "stuck" states and into safety, balance, and inner strength. If you're ready to feel more grounded in your daily life and learn how anxiety can be a place from which to grow, this workbook will help you on your journey.
