Review: Self-Guided Somatic Therapy Workbook: Step-by-Step Exercises to Regulate Your Nervous System by Sasha Stok

#partner @penguinrandomhouse Thanks for the free book  

Time are not easy. With. money being tight, stress about money and budgeting is at an all time high for many families. 

Somatic exercises and therapy can help dealing with stress and are exercises you can do at home and on your own. Best deal yet, if you get into the habit of using these exercises, the relief and stress reduction can be permanent and have a long term positive impact on your well being. 

This is self-guided and constitute4s a workbook; meaning you can do the exercises to fit your schedule and the author provides guidance, but how you implement and what combination works best for you is really your decision. The author provides a variety of exercises to relief stress, help with current or past trauma and improve your nervous system to enable you to lead a more relaxed and healthy life. 

Ideally, you will perform these exercises daily. But if that is not possible, work on establishing a routine that works for you and then long term improvement will happen. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and most importantly, you are in charge and decide on how to proceed and implement these exercises.  

I really enjoyed this book. It adds another component or variation to a mindful exercise regime. While some progression is intended, such as moving from awareness over stability to active integration. This is not a competitive approach and no specific timeline is given nor expected. Proceed at your own pace and comfort level. The important thing is that a more relaxed and at ease person is gained through this workbook.
