BodyTalk continues the conversation started in The Body Keeps the Score and The Complex PTSD Workbook. This unique guide helps reestablish connection to your body to process difficult emotions, improve mental health, and feel secure in your own skin.

Everything in your life comes down to how connected you are to your own body. Your relationships, career, and even your self-worth and self-respect reflect the relationship you have with your body. When things feel out of alignment, overwhelming, or "too much," it's a sign that you've already lost communication with yourself and the physical sensations within your body that indicate something is not right.

The challenge is that many of us find it difficult even to fathom what a healthy relationship with our body is. We are overscheduled, overcommitted, and overwhelmed, making it challenging to pay attention to what is happening in the present moment. When the body has been a source of pain, anguish, and trauma, it feels impossible to return to it positively. Many of us have spent years disconnected from our physical sensations, and the thought of reestablishing a healthy connection to the body feels impossible; we don't even know where to begin.

Enter BodyTalk, a unique guide to reestablishing connection to your body. Through daily movement exercises and mindful reflection, readers can easily reestablish healthy boundaries and relationships with their own bodies to move through challenging emotions and feelings and begin to find balance and a sense of vitality.

Over 365 days, you will be guided into more awareness as you're gently challenged to connect and communicate with your body. Through a combination of movement exercises and body-centred journal prompts, you can find your way back to yourself—your worth, value, confidence, and even identity.
