She challenges us to try the skill exercises and achieve a mind-body reset in our lives."

"Rebekkah LaDyne combines three powerful and evocative tools: the mental, emotional, and somatic aspects of the human body as long-lasting, natural defenses against stress in a sometimes-chaotic world. By hacking the mind-body connection in concert, her well-supported methods recognize that the body also needs a voice in maintaining balance. It is with joy and respect that I recommend her book to those of us that need help in remembering that balance."

It is clearly written, full of heart, and an outstanding contribution to the field."
--David Treleaven, PhD, author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness--David Treleaven, PhD
"Somatic intelligence is often a neglected or rather forgotten territory. Rebekkah LaDyne shows us with her remarkable book how much potential for healing opens up once we invite this intelligence into our consciousness, and give it space to balance out the wounds of trauma and neglect. The book is a wonderful blend of scientifically based theory and playful exercises. I wish the whole world would read it--I see it as a guide into health, happiness, and joyful living."
--Urs Honauer, PhD, SEP, Somatic Experiencing(R) Trauma Institute senior faculty, and director of the Center for Inner Ecology in Zurich, Switzerland--Urs Honauer, PhD, SEP
