(as of – Details)
With practical, immediate ways to establish a mindful connection with our bodies, The Vagus Nerve Reset is an introduction to the nervous system, and helps us tap into our body’s innate capacity to process and return to a state of safety, transforming the way we respond to every kind of challenge in life.
Feeling anxious and disconnected are signs of a nervous system that’s out of balance. Something as small as a curt message from your boss can be perceived by your body as a threat—which triggers a change in your vagus nerve (a cranial nerve that runs from your brain to your abdomen). In The Vagus Nerve Reset, somatic therapist Anna Ferguson offers easy tools and exercises, grounded in the science of Polyvagal Theory, to help train your nervous system to stop overreacting and start responding more calmly to day-to-day stressors. By tuning in to your vagus nerve you can gently shape your nervous system to achieve greater resilience, improve sleep and digestion, find relief from anxiety, and manage past traumas.
The power of somatic therapy: learn how to work with your body to change the way you feel, think, and behave to become more resilientPositively change your mood and behavior: you’ll assess how your vagus nerve is functioning, then incorporate practices such as breath, touch, movement, and intention to grow your connection to your body Polyvagal Theory made easy: understand the underlying principle of how the nervous system regulates feelings of safety and how one responds to experiences in the world

Vagus interesting
In starting this book it was good for the Author to share her past and what she went through to then lead to a vagus nerve reset. The early chapters delve into people that experienced trauma needing to reset the vagus nerve. Then throughout the book she talks about PTSD, childhood trauma and other traumas once experienced needing this reset to help their body move forward. There was quite a lot of scientific speak that at times slowed me down. I wanted to read this book because due to a health issue, I have had a few practioners mention that it might be helpful, but it wasn’t caused by trauma so I found myself thinking this book might not be for me. Toward the end of the book there are lots of helpful and lifestyle changes to help your body feel better to support your nervous system and vagus nerve on a daily basis. I will for sure try some of these.This is a great intro to the Vagus Nerve and you’ll find many suggestions to help if needed.Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC copy.

Educate yourself
Anna does a brilliant job of teaching and explaining the complexities of the autonomic nervous system and how it relates to our daily lives. I love how she categorizes the different levels of exercises that help stimulate and relax the vagus nerve.

User-friendly guide for reducing anxiety!
I really love this book by Anna Ferguson. I thought I knew a lot about the vagus nerve, but she took me deeper and provided practical tools and exercises to really help me understand how to work with my vagus nerve. The book is very accessible to all levels of reader. It was nice to deepen my understanding of the vagus nerve without having to wade through a lot of medical and psychological jargon. The book is extremely well researched and Anna definitely knows her stuff. I have followed her on Instagram for quite a while and used many of the techniques she has shared on there. So glad to have a book I can refer to when I need to! Looking forward to much more from Anna Ferguson!

wordy
It is hard to know whether any of these techniques are actually helpful but may be worth incorporating into daily routines.

Vagus Nerve Reset
The Vagus Nerve Reset by Anna Ferguson was a very interesting read. So much I didn’t know and wasn’t aware of. There are so many books out there that are just psycho babel and the author hasn’t experience anything. Anna has actually experienced trauma and uses what she has learned and used for healing. It would have been nice to have some visual ques to some of the techniques and maybe a diagram of the vagus nerve. All in all, I think The Vagus Nerve Reset is a good starting point and helpful techniques to guide you a long your healing journey.Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity read this ebook. I plan on using the information I gained to help me along my own journey to healing.
