This is an online book outlining one tried and tested way to work with the body as an intelligent, self-optimising living organism. Your body is a biological entity that actively wants to communicate with the cognitive self - but can only do this on its (i.e. the body's) terms.
This approach provides a gentle, humane, simple, respectful and highly effective means to directly address low to medium level trauma, along with dissociation, and can also address central sensitisation. In doing this it can also potentially help all of the various and many somatisations that arise as a result of overwhelm and dissociation.
This book is for everyone, because (as will be described) overwhelm and consequent (often low level, invisible) dissociation are universal and endemic in Western cultures.
A good quality relationship with the body is also a prerequisite for a good quality relationship with the environment - the body outside ourselves, the extension of our body (just as our bodies are extensions and living parts of the biosphere).
