Try Softer: A Fresh Approach to Move Us out of Anxiety, Stress, and Survival Mode--and into a Life of Connection and Joy by Aundi Kolber
5.0
Excellent resource for doing side-by-side trauma/clinically informed care for anyone suffering the effects of trauma or anxiety. The author provides helpful exercises and in-depth information.
Chapter 7 on the body is probably my favorite.
“And Jesus' life on earth is why we can confidently say that God values our flesh and bones. He values the tears we cry and the hearts beating within each of us. He sees the emotional and physical bruises we've suffered. Jesus is tender to our humanity. He made it; He lived in its constraints; and He loves our bodies- just as He loves us. From Him we learn that there is no hierarchy, as the Gnostics said, to the physical and spiritual. It's all sacred, dear one.”
