Start healing from trauma with a body-first approach.
A revolutionary guide to trauma recovery through healing your nervous system from renowned Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Brittany Piper.
Hot Take: You can’t talk your way out of trauma. You have to feel your way out.
Updated science provides that trauma lives in our bodies, not in the story of what happened to us. Somatic (soma meaning “body”) healing, once a fringe therapeutic approach, is now a mainstream movement due to its effectiveness in helping people rediscover their innate self-healing abilities and addressing the root cause of trauma in the body. In Body-First Healing, part memoir, part roadmap, Brittany provides a gentle guide to recovery, resilience, and nervous system regulation from a somatic based approach.
ABOUT THE BOOK
ABOUT THE BOOK
Brittany Piper spent most of her life sitting across from conventional therapists recalling the painful stories of her trauma.
But rehashing each harrowing event—being put into foster care as a baby, losing her brother in a car accident, enduring a brutal rape and a very public trial, and more—made her even more stuck. At a crossroads, she took her recovery into her own hands. Now a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner herself, in Body-First Healing Brittany provides a roadmap to recovery, resilience, and nervous system regulation. With encouragement, relatability, and compassion, Brittany gently guides you through somatic practices which aim to help you remove the protective armor of the past and rediscover who you were before trauma.
