About this listen
How you feel right now is valid. Let yourself heal by receiving the help you need....
Have you lost all desire to do anything with your life now that your spouse is gone?
Are you so worried about the future that you’re having anxiety attacks?
Do you find it hard to eat right and sleep well because you’re drowning in sorrow?
You may have gone back to work to occupy your mind, but you realize you can’t focus. You feel empty and hollow inside, and it feels as though you’re sleepwalking through life.
You just can't bear the sadness, constantly yearning for his or her presence.
You may have asked yourself, “How will I move forward with my life? How long until it is better?” You want to be free from this pain and heartache.
Maybe you’re experiencing physical pain. You either can’t stop crying or you can’t cry at all because your emotions are all bottled up.
You don't know what stage of grief you’re at. You’re just totally overwhelmed by what has happened to you, and you feel that the world is cruel and unjust.
It’s not easy to move forward, and every grieving journey is different and as unique as a fingerprint. To help you through the process, you need support and practical solutions to help you cope with your loss and restore yourself.
In The Somatic Therapy Book: Healing After the Loss of a Spouse, you will discover:
- Seven stages of grief, as well as misconceptions about grieving - and what you should do instead to heal from this trauma
- Coping strategies for dealing with stigma associated with widowhood
- How somatic therapy works to balance the mind and body, and why you should try it to heal from the emotional and physical effects of grief
- 10 somatic interventions to help your journey from trauma to healing
- How to recover from traumatic grief through somatic mindfulness exercises
- Exactly what steps to take after losing your spouse so you can cope financially
- Simple five-minute somatic exercises with illustrations to ease your physical pain without straining your body
- How to create a practical self-care plan even while you’re grieving - so you can stay afloat and keep progressing
- Practical worksheets to help you mourn in a healthy way and eventually heal from the pain of grieving
- Five things to consider before you start dating after the loss of your spouse
- Six signs you might be ready to marry again (and the pros and cons of remarrying)
- The must know dos and don’ts as a widow or widower
- And much more.
You don’t have to buy any equipment to do the somatic exercises provided in this guide; you can do them all by using simple everyday items, such as a washcloth.
You also don’t have to copy someone else’s timeline. Your grief experience is unique to you. You’re the one who owns your emotions, and no one has the right to judge your decisions.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Divorce is a lot like losing someone. It is the death of a marriage. It is a sheer and brutal act of abandonment. It is extremely personal. Even after the meanest separation or divorce that caught you off guard, you may achieve this level of self-acceptance and forgiveness. This doesn’t mean you deny what they did to you or run away from the pain. Instead, you allow yourself to experience it all—the guilt, shame, anger, and disappointment—and move through it. If that’s how you’re feeling right now, this book is for you.

Story
Most of us believe when we're depressed that our situation is hopeless. That's a mistake, Dr. Elisha Goldstein reassures us in Uncovering Happiness. The secret to overcoming depression and uncovering happiness is in harnessing our brain's own natural antidepressant power and ultimately creating a more resilient antidepressant brain.

The inner critic might feel overpowering, but it can be managed effectively. Meditation teacher and therapist Mark Coleman helps listeners understand and free themselves from the inner critic using the tools of mindfulness and compassion.

Very Helpful In Time of Need
The audible The Somatic Therapy Book" I found to be a great resource for people going through loss and trying to pick up themselves to continue their life. Loss can weigh us down but with this book, you will have a companion to guide you through it. It covers feelings, physical effects, exercises, self care strategies, emotional rollercoaster, remarry and dating.

Exceptionally helpful - highly recommend!
I received this audiobook to manage the trauma of loss and this was really a game changer. The coping strategies were particularly helpful, and it provided tools that I couldn't find in other similar audiobooks, any videos online, or articles I've read through. The content is really unique and valuable. It really helped me move forward from a dark period in my life in my saddest moments.
The narration is very professional and very well done. I highly appreciate the content in the book brought forward by the author. Buying this book and allowing myself to work with the strategies was one of the best decisions I've made in my life.
I highly, highly recommend this audiobook. Easily 5 stars.

Helpful insights for a super difficult subject
Losing a spouse is unfathomably difficult. The journey that follows it is probably even worse. But there are still some things that can help folks that are traveling such an arduous path, and this audiobook lays those things out in a compassionate fashion.
I’ve leveraged somatic therapy a few times in my life and found it helpful. It can be invaluable to let go of difficult emotions, even if temporarily, and get back into our bodies and the present moment. This book expands upon such high-level strategies and gives grievers some tools they need to keep moving in their lives.
It’s hard to recommend just about anything during times of such intense grief, but I really do think this book would be something that would fall into that category of recommendation. Check it out if you can.

HELP IS NEEDED, AND IT IS THE PROCESS OF HEALING!
I lost a very close person over the holidays, and I have not taken it very well. I am learning how to cope with the sadness & anxiety I began to have after losing a loved one. I came across this listen as I looked to see if there was anything out in the wonderful book world, and Somatic Therapy helps you think about the loss in different ways! I liked the guidance & information in this guide, and it could help you on your journey to move on and remember all the good times!

Somatic healing
I discovered this book while searching for somatics in terms of the gentle physical movements which have helped me heal tremendously. Upon discovering this title, I realized I could use somatic healing to help me patch up many old emotional wounds. This book in tandem with therapy is highly recommended for healing after a tragic loss. 5/5
