About this listen
“Inspiring, refreshing and practical—a delightfully lucid guide to healing yourself.”–Bessel van der Kolk, MD., New York Times bestselling author of The Body Keeps the Score
From two mind-body practitioners comes the new essential self-healing bible—a revolutionary body-first guide to reducing stress, resolving long-term pain, and healing from trauma for good using your body’s own nervous system.
Your autonomic nervous system is responsible for the constant but mostly subconscious communication between your brain and body. When you experience stress, anxiety, or trauma, your nervous system formulates responses to keep you alive. But you can also become trapped in survival mode if you’re consistently exposed to unsafe environments, toxic relationships, or destructive thought patterns. When this happens it’s known as nervous system dysregulation or sensitization, which can result in chronic mental and physical pain and confusion, leaving you unable to cope with life’s strains and stresses.
Mind-body practitioners Jen Mann and Karden Rabin, co-founders of the Chronic Fatigue School, now provide the first in-depth look at nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, Polyvagal theory, the vagus nerve, and the mind-body connection. Combining science-backed insights and hands-on techniques, The Secret Language of the Body teaches you how to move out of survival mode, regulate your nervous system, and heal your mind and body. Rabin and Mann don’t teach stress management, but something far more powerful–how to control your body’s nervous system. With this revolutionary book, you will learn to skillfully speak the language of your body and train it to not only manage stress but achieve personal transformation.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Dr. Michael Gershon has devoted his career to understanding the human bowel (the stomach, esophagus, small intestine, and colon). His 30 years of research have led to an extraordinary rediscovery: Nerve cells in the gut that act as a brain. This "second brain" can control our gut all by itself. Our two brains - the one in our head and the one in our bowel - must cooperate.

Brittany Piper spent most of her life sitting across from conventional therapists recalling the painful stories of her trauma. But rehashing each harrowing event—being put into foster care as a baby, losing her brother in a car accident, enduring a brutal rape and a very public trial, and more—made her even more stuck. At a crossroads, she took her recovery into her own hands. On this journey, Brittany discovered emerging science that explains how and why trauma lives in our bodies, not in the story of what happened to us.

Yung Pueblo’s path to deep healing began only after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his mind and body. Searching for a way forward, he found that by honestly examining and addressing the anxieties and fears that he had been running away from, he no longer felt like a stranger inside of his heart and mind. And once he dedicated himself to meditation and trusting his intuition, he started to finally feel mentally lighter, with more love emerging from within. This was not an easy journey, and it's one that he is still on, but it showed him that real healing is possible.

Story
Dysregulation is often referred to as being triggered or upset. Quite often people who are unaware of their dysregulation are angry, explosive, or they might shut down or be overly emotional. Dysregulation can be exaggerated by difficult past experiences - especially in childhood. It is also useful to understand that dysregulation is the CORRECT expression of a properly functioning nervous system - everyone can become dysregulated at times.

Story
Brittany Piper spent most of her life sitting across from conventional therapists recalling the painful stories of her trauma. But rehashing each harrowing event—being put into foster care as a baby, losing her brother in a car accident, enduring a brutal rape and a very public trial, and more—made her even more stuck. At a crossroads, she took her recovery into her own hands. On this journey, Brittany discovered emerging science that explains how and why trauma lives in our bodies, not in the story of what happened to us.

Story
Nothing Is Missing is a “sparkling and impassioned story” (Glamour) of what it takes to show up for yourself—and the joy that can come once you do. Raised in a home where food was unstable and anger was the norm, Nicole learned that she needed to take charge of her own safety and security. So she did: She got into an elite private school by talking to a stranger in her dad’s cab, she strategized her way onto Wheel of Fortune to pay for college, she adopted three girls after meeting their mother panhandling, she quit her job to launch her own business, and she struggled.

Story
This book updates clinical guidance and theory for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an approach that gives patients corrective emotional and relational experiences that mobilize changes in the brain. Practitioners of AEDP understand psychopathology as a byproduct of internal working models, borne out of insecure attachment experiences, that now thwart adaptive functioning in adulthood. The goal of AEDP is to be therapeutically present with patients and their pain and to guide them to have a new experience—a good experience—thus rewiring memory and capacity to reflect.

Story
Feeling anxious and disconnected are signs of a nervous system that's out of balance. Something as small as a curt message from our boss can be perceived by our bodies as a threat to life. By understanding our physiological stress response, we can override and heal our emotional response, and fix the behaviours sabotaging our health and happiness. In The Vagus Nerve Reset, Anna Ferguson offers somatic therapies alongside the science of Polyvagal Theory, to help us train our nervous system to stop overreacting, and start responding more calmly to day-to-day stressors and heal past experiences.

look up how they are pronounced. John Grinder, co-founder of NLP, his name is
not pronounced Grinder like a pepper grinder, like the author pronounced it,
But GRINder … the first syllable pronounced like “grin” like a smile ...
The book is a good compilation of a number of sources studying consciousness, with some well formulated exercises and somatic concepts culled from those sources. A Very good 'introduction' ... but I'd strongly suggest buying the hard-copy book, rather than this audio rendition. I typically avoid books "read by the author" and this one is the example that proves the rule... in my opinion, of course ...
The authors desperately needed a good audio editor … they read like middle school camp activities directors

The book focuses on listening to your body and uses the acronym BASE-M to do this. In BASE-M, the M stands for the mind and focuses on understanding your thoughts and how they relate to your body's signals.
BASE stands for Breath, Action, Sensation, and Emotion.
Take notice of your breathing - is it relaxed or strained? Too fast? Holding your breath?
Action - what is your body and your mind doing?
Sensation - are any muscles tight? Any pain (stomach, headache, other aches or pains)? Tingling?
Emotion - what is your emotional state?
The key is to LISTEN. Don't jump to thinking about the 'why' as this will shutdown the discovery process. You need to fully investigate the symptoms first so you can deal with them.
Then focus on the 'how' - what were you thinking or what was happening that were the triggers to your body having a reaction?
Only after exploring your body's physical and emotional reactions and the possible triggers should you start to think about the 'why'. This is where you investigate the root causes to get to real healing. To me, this step needs a professional to provide their experience and guidance. People often have traumatic experiences as children or years earlier in their life which manifest in how the body handles stress or triggers, but unless someone knowledgable can lead you through that investigation and healing process it may be very difficult to do this yourself.
Good info; real healing may need professional help
