About this listen

 Feeling anxious and disconnected are signs of a nervous system that's out of balance. Something as small as a curt message from our boss can be perceived by our bodies as a threat to life. By understanding our physiological stress response, we can override and heal our emotional response, and fix the behaviours sabotaging our health and happiness.

In this book Anna offers:
> Somatic therapies
> The science of Polyvagal Theory
> Practical methods of unlocking a mindful connection with our bodies
> A programme of mindful movement, breathwork, meditation, journalling, and more.

The Vagus Nerve Reset will help us train our nervous system to stop overreacting, and start responding more calmly to day-to-day stressors and heal past experiences. We will become more aware of our nervous system and notice what derails us - and transform the way we respond to every kind of challenge in life.

By tuning into our vagus nerve we can gently shape our nervous system for greater resilience. This will have profound long-term positive influence on our overall health and wellbeing, providing relief from debilitating anxiety and symptoms of chronic illness. This comprehensive guide allows us to find anchors of safety amongst the chaos, reclaim a sense of control and step into the most confident, resilient and grounded version of ourselves.

'Anna's book holds the key in overcoming anxiety.' - Chloe Brotheridge, author of The Anxiety Solution

'A must read for anyone who needs some clarity on navigating life in a healthier healed way.' - Helen Marie, psychotherapist and clinical trauma practitioner Anxiety Disorders Mental Health Personal Development Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Stress Management Health Nervous System Resilience

Book Review: ★★☆☆☆

I had high hopes for this book, expecting a solid foundation of scientific insights, but it fell short. While there were a few useful snippets of information, they were buried under pages of drawn out, unnecessary explanations that didn’t add much value. The writing felt more like filler than substance, making it a frustrating read. If you’re looking for a book with real depth and scientific backing, this one might not be it. Disappointing overall.

Don’t waste your time

This book was the most long winded and pointless experince I have sat through in years of using Audible and has no coherent summary of actionable items. There were some interesting points and exercises in the book but it is all hidden behind a author so oppressed with her own story that if you she rarely says anything of sustenance.

If you are trying to heal from truama then it is the kind of story telling and meandering lessons that will likely be helpful for many people. The content was good when it was delivered but the useful points could have been a 30-45 minute action plan.

Not worth it if you are interested in the Vagus nerve.

I couldn't listen for long enough to rate the content despite repeat attempts as the narrators voice, the author, is not suited to the task and was almost actually painful to listen to over the time required. come on, this is a penguin publication not a low cost effort. not good enough

to hard to listen to
