Many of us have heard of nervous system dysregulation – but what does it actually mean, and what can we do about it? The Secret Language of the Body is your essential guide for moving out of survival mode, and healing your mind and body.

When a person is burdened by stress, anxiety and trauma, their nervous system adapts to help keep them alive in the short term, but can trap them in survival mode long-term, with detrimental effects. This is the state of nervous system dysregulation. Our autonomic nervous system is responsible for the constant yet subconscious communication between our brain and body, using a secret language that we urgently need to understand. Mind and body practitioners Jennifer Mann and Karden Rabin outline the three essential steps for resolving nervous system dysregulation:

• Become aware of dysregulated body response and why they happen

• Interrupt these responses

• Redesign them into helpful reactions

Exploring the science and triggers behind nervous system dysregulation and polyvagal theory, and including a comprehensive manual of cognitive, somatic, developmental and vagus nerve-based practices, this book will teach you exactly how to create meaningful and positive changes in your mind and body today. This is your moment to awaken the vast potential hidden within yourself, become fluent in your body’s inner dialogue and truly heal.

There's a lot going on in Room 19. A sleepover? A talent show? And worst of all, NEW TABLE GROUPS?! Audrey L and Audrey W were destined to be friends. They both love purple, they have the same stationery, and they have the same name-so of course! But this month, all of Audrey L's joy at finding her first best friend feels a little wobbly. When Room 19 switches seating order, she and Audrey W are separated by a whole classroom-and from where Audrey L's sitting, it looks like Audrey W is having a grand old time with . . . Bettina! Now Bettina's coming with Audrey W to the tree house. Bettina's joining the Audreys' Talent Show act. Gosh, what ISN'T Bettina involved in these days? Can Audrey L welcome change into her newfound classroom calm? Or is this the beginning of the end? This bighearted, laugh-out-loud chapter book will resonate with any young reader who's ever felt overlooked or second best. The second book in the Audrey L and Audrey W series, TRUE CREATIVE TALENTS breathes great gusto into the joys and traumas of elementary school drama.
