1.7 stars rounded up.

The beginning of the book seemed promising but halfway through it became a repetitive infomercial. I persisted because I borrowed the audiobook from the library and it was helping me fall asleep.

The author brings in the work of Stephen Porges and Deb Dana in talking about Polyvagal Theory. I find this is explained in a way that is easy to understand. My favourite part of the book was her model of safety using tree imagery. Some things that resonated for me include: safety in our body being related to our ability to sleep, as well as the idea that our nervous systems experience the world as safe/unsafe (whether this is conscious or unconscious). The second half of the book is a series of practices to use to build safety. Being a therapist, most of the practices described were a review. That being said, I still discovered a few that I’d like to try (e.g the havening technique). Overall, there were helpful takeaways for me in my personal life and my work as a therapist.

This was actually sweet and extremely useful. I had been trying to work my way thru a pile of audiobooks i had aquired and just happened to hit play on this one, and found some answers. Immediately gave copies to two friends.

It's hard to believe this was written by a doctor; there was so little science or research mentioned, just vibes. Trauma profoundly influences feelings of safety but was only mentioned in passing. The exercises seemed sillier than most in self-help books: look in the mirror and say, 'I love you'? Come on.
