Stress Nation is a term we can coin to describe our lives in the United States. On a large scale, we are a nation in need of healing. There is only so much we can consume, so many medications we can take and only so many operations we can undergo using psychology/ allopathic medicine to deal with our fear, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Especially our individual and collective trauma.
 
Too often when there is a diagnosis, we see all kinds of specialists who give only a piece of the puzzle. We are left to make sense of the disparate pieces while in a health crisis. Integrative Healing offers a menu of options from which people can draw on for information distilled into digestible parts to see how they may fit together for a more holistic approach to healing.
 
We begin with an exploration of the ABCs of trauma and how it lives in the body. This book synthesizes today’s leading trauma healing modalities into relatable terms. Then it gives case studies, practical applications, and resources after each chapter.
 
Together we journey through the most cutting-edge treatments in psychology and their complementary counterparts. The focus is on integration: where the two meet and sometimes overlap. The author uses personal insights, humor, and candor along with her years of experience as a social worker, yoga, therapeutics, and meditation teacher.

Drawing on her own and clients’ experiences, she translates the material to real life. It is said that everyone you meet is either perpetuating generational trauma or doing the hard work of healing it. This is for those who have had enough and want to pursue recovery.
 
We examine the different ways we can literally change the neuroplasticity of the brain with Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing, Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Therapeutic/Trauma Yoga, Expressive Arts Therapy, Energy Healing, and more.

Readers can delve into different ways to change the way trauma lives in their bodies and create safety within themselves.
