Call of the Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken Our Own Power, and Use It For Good by Kimberly Ann Johnson

medium-paced

4.0

I can definitely see how this book could fill in gaps for folks who feel they hit a wall in psychotherapy, talk therapy frameworks for healing attachment wounds. Brings the reader back to basics, and helps to find more balance between our “prey” and “predator” reactions to situations.  
I found it really good for giving examples and exercises for expanding one’ window of tolerance, and found the language of blue sensations, blue visuals and red sensations and red visuals to be helpful in the process of feeling emotions in the body and anchoring in more pleasant sensations, without seeming like you want “good vibes only”. 
Understanding that there is no red without blue and vice versa, and just anchoring in the blues we have more capacity to deal with, and heal the red.
