Story
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

A masterclass in healing
This book is a meticulously crafted guide to understanding and healing the intricate relationship between mind and body. I've navigated the complexities of anxiety and trauma for a long time, and I found its approach very effective. It doesn’t rely on vague promises or oversimplified solutions. Instead, it offers a clear, science-backed framework for nervous system regulation, grounded in somatic therapy and Polyvagal Theory. The exercises are practical, accessible, and surprisingly transformative. I also like its balance of depth and usability. The explanations of Polyvagal Theory are concise yet thorough, making a complex subject easy to understand. The workbook exercises and self-assessments add a layer of personalization, allowing you to track progress and tailor the practices to your needs. If you’re like me, a trauma survivor, or maybe you simply seeking greater emotional balance, this book is an intelligent, empowering tool for reclaiming control over your well-being.
