The Vagus Nerve Reset

Train your body to heal stress, trauma and anxiety with Anna the Anxiety Coach




Harness the power of your vagus nerve to reduce stress, overcome anxiety and release past trauma.

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 Vague 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
