The Vagus Nerve Reset: Train Your Body to Heal Stress, Trauma, and Anxiety by Anna Ferguson

Feeling anxious and disconnected are signs of a nervous system that's out of balance. In The Vagus Nerve Reset, somatic therapist Anna Ferguson offers practical, immediate ways to establish a mindful connection with your body and train its innate capacity to heal stress, trauma, and anxiety. This book can transform the way you respond to every kind of challenge in life.

Heal Your Nervous System

Grounded in the science of Polyvagal Theory, this book introduces you to the vagus nerve and shows how an event as small as a curt message from your boss can be perceived by your body as a threat, triggering an overreaction. Through easy-to-follow tools and exercises—including breath, touch, and movement—you’ll learn how to stop your nervous system from overreacting and start responding more calmly to day-to-day stressors. By tuning in to your vagus nerve, you can achieve greater resilience, improved sleep and digestion, relief from anxiety, and healing from past traumas.
