This book was the most surprising book I have ever read this year.

I heard about somatic therapy before but I couldn't fully grasp its meaning and application. Jordan Dann explains this very clearly in her book, Somatic Therapy for Healing Trauma.

I have been dealing with my painful past that has been stopping me from living my life to the fullest but I didn't know that healing involves the body, too, not only the mind. Before I felt tightness in some parts of my body and other sensations triggered by my traumatic experiences. I just didn't put much attention to them as I didn't know how to deal with them. Later on, I learned about becoming more present and feeling my body; however, my own practice needed more improvement to fully release the reactions to traumatic memories from my body.

The book provides a lot of beneficial exercises that help me become more attuned to my body. Definitely, this book will be my daily companion in my healing journey and in becoming a whole person.

Thank you, Jordan Dann, Rockridge Press, and NetGalley for the ARC. Thank you for the privilege to read the book and share my honest opinion.
