I wrote about this for Psychology Today and liked the experience and range of tips given such as:

Noticing people with illness, injury, trauma, and exhaustion, Nahid de Belgeonne wrote Soothe: Restoring Your Nervous System from Stress, Anxiety, Burnout and Trauma to help us regulate our nervous system.10 De Belgeonne delves into body sensing, breathwork, rest, and movement, especially with her experience as a yoga and Pilates instructor.

“You can’t afford to feel overwhelmed, for there is never enough time to tend to yourself, so you simply say, ‘I can’t think about that right now,’ or ‘I’ll deal with this at the end of the day,’” writes de Belgeonne.

The Soothe Program teaches that bodies operate in rhythms, from electrical brainwave frequency to the flow of blood, responses of hormones, and the release of synovial fluid in joints. This slow movement of the lymphatic system carries what we don’t need away. We must move.

“When we experience emotions, they can manifest in our bodies in the form of tension, pain, or other physical symptoms,” writes de Belgeonne. “Somatic movement can help us to release these physical symptoms and reconnect with our bodies in a more mindful way.”

I can’t deal with pseudoscience that says it can cure ALL YOUR ILLS in one program. And I’m an avid yogi, meditator, breath work, somatic work, researcher of trauma informed practice… but the idea that this program will cure sleep apnea, mental health, digestive issues, memory, etc… along with the assumption that something like weight NEEDS to be changed, and that it must be because I’m emotionally dysregulated . Same old alternative health snake oil, promising you that things will be “better” if only you do their program… that you can control your life’s outcomes and health and happiness if you only do their program — which obviously you can pay more for if you want! Not into it.
