I cannot recommend this book enough. Her wisdom about our autonomic nervous system, brain-body connection, our animal body, and beautiful and deeply imaginative exercises will guide you to the heart of what dysregulation is, and how our past experiences- family of origin, sexual experiences both good and bad, shame, trauma, etc may have created layers in our nervous system that may not have been successfully processed and keep us in certain heightened or sympathetic states or detached low gear frozen states. You learn how to listen to your body and coach others (partners, etc) to discover new pathways of living in your body authentically, energetically, and with a sense of agency. The pace of the book is beautiful, heartwarming, and presented with so much care. I thank Kimberly for her research, time, dedication, and enormous heart in creating this book. She is a gift. Susan
