Description
Kimberly Ann Johnson comes a cutting-edge guide for tapping into the wisdom and
resilience of the body to rewire the nervous system, heal from trauma, and live
fully.
In an increasingly polarized world where trauma is often publicly renegotiated,
our nervous systems are on high alert. From skyrocketing rates of depression
and anxiety to physical illnesses such as autoimmune diseases and digestive
disorders, many women today find themselves living out of alignment with their
bodies. Kimberly Johnson is a somatic practitioner, birth
doula, and postpartum educator who specializes in helping women recover from
all forms of trauma. In her work, she’s seen the same themes play out time and
again. In a culture that prioritizes executive function and “mind over matter,”
many women are suffering from deeply unresolved pain that causes mental and
physical stagnation and illness. In Call of the Wild, Johnson offers an
eye-opening look at this epidemic as well as an informative view of the human
nervous system and how it responds to difficult events. From the “small t”
traumas of getting ghosted, experiencing a fall-out with a close friend, or
swerving to avoid a car accident to the “capital T” traumas of sexual assault,
an upending natural disaster, or a life-threatening illness—Johnson explains
how the nervous system both protects us from immediate harm and creates
reverberations that ripple through a lifetime. In this practical, empowering guide, Johnson shows
readers how to metabolize these nervous system responses, allowing everyone to
come home to their deepest, most intuitive and whole selves. Following her
supportive advice, readers will learn how to move from wholeness, tapping into
the innate wisdom of their senses, soothing frayed nerves and reconnecting with
their “animal selves.”
While we cannot cure
the painful cultural rifts inflicting our society, there is a path
forward—through our bodies.
