About this listen
From trauma educator and somatic guide Kimberly Ann Johnson comes a cutting-edge guide for tapping into the wisdom and resilience of the body to rewire the nervous system, heal from trauma, and live fully.
In an increasingly polarized world where trauma is often publicly renegotiated, our nervous systems are on high alert. From skyrocketing rates of depression and anxiety to physical illnesses such as autoimmune diseases and digestive disorders, many women today find themselves living out of alignment with their bodies.
Kimberly Johnson is a somatic practitioner, birth doula, and postpartum educator who specializes in helping women recover from all forms of trauma. In her work, she’s seen the same themes play out time and again. In a culture that prioritizes executive function and “mind over matter", many women are suffering from deeply unresolved pain that causes mental and physical stagnation and illness.
In Call of the Wild, Johnson offers an eye-opening look at this epidemic as well as an informative view of the human nervous system and how it responds to difficult events. From the “small t” traumas of getting ghosted, experiencing a fall-out with a close friend, or swerving to avoid a car accident to the “capital T” traumas of sexual assault, an upending natural disaster, or a life-threatening illness - Johnson explains how the nervous system both protects us from immediate harm and creates reverberations that ripple through a lifetime.
In this practical, empowering guide, Johnson shows readers how to metabolize these nervous system responses, allowing everyone to come home to their deepest, most intuitive and whole selves. Following her supportive advice, readers will learn how to move from wholeness, tapping into the innate wisdom of their senses, soothing frayed nerves and reconnecting with their “animal selves".
While we cannot cure the painful cultural rifts inflicting our society, there is a path forward - through our bodies.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Story
Anxiety affects more than forty million Americans—a number that continues to climb in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While conventional medicine tends to view anxiety as a “neck-up” problem—that is, one of brain chemistry and psychology—the truth is that the origins of anxiety are rooted in the body. In The Anatomy of Anxiety, holistic psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora offers nothing less than a paradigm shift in our understanding of anxiety and mental health, suggesting that anxiety is not simply a brain disorder but a whole-body condition.

Stress is our internal response to an experience that our brain perceives as threatening or challenging. Trauma is our response to an experience in which we feel powerless or lacking agency. Until now, researchers have treated these conditions as different, but they actually lie along a continuum. Dr. Elizabeth Stanley explains the significance of this continuum, how it affects our resilience in the face of challenge, and why an event that's stressful for one person can be traumatizing for another.

In How We Learn, Stanislas Dehaene decodes the brain's biological mechanisms, delving into the neuronal, synaptic, and molecular processes taking place. He explains why youth is such a sensitive period, but assures us that our abilities continue into adulthood and that we can enhance our learning and memory at any age.

Why do women keep themselves small and quiet? Why do they hold back professionally and personally? What fuels the uncertainty and lack of confidence so many women often feel? In this paradigm-shifting book, leading feminist thinker Bethany Webster identifies the source of women’s trauma. She calls it the Mother Wound - the systemic disenfranchisement of women by the patriarchy - and reveals how this cycle is perpetuated by wounded mothers who unconsciously pass on damaging beliefs and behaviors to their daughters.

Emerging out of Fauning
I just listened to this book while wrap napping my almost 5 month old son (my first, we freebirthed in our condo) out in the early mornings of end of summer amidst large trees, by big water. It’s been about two weeks of listening to bits a pieces while he slept on my chest each day.
I feel that the all levels transformation of becoming a mother primed me to be ready to integrate a new way of being into my system. I’ve been taking steps towards metabolizing some sexual trauma for many years, and been aware of polyvegal theory and attachment styles etc., but the pathway still felt loose or scattered to me.
Something about the way you layered it all in, segment by segment, and being able to listen to a voice I know + practice the guided activities in real time, really clinched some things together for me. I immediately experienced profound releases doing the activities around some old stuff, and have found the framework of TIMES and tracking my system immediately beneficial as well.
I am stepping out of fauning, a loop I have been stuck in since high school, and it feels so good.
This book provides a method to bring yourself into greater coherence in a really beautifully accessible way, while also emphasizing our need, of course, for each other in the greater culture.
If you are a woman alive in the modern world today, read this book! And find power in the tending to your wounds.
Thank you so much.

Life Changing
After listening to this, I had to buy the physical book as well because I have so many notes to take and want to read it slowly and give myself more time to digest some of the material. A lot of information here ties in well with other research on complex-trauma and gives a different perspective at the same time. Amazing work!! Easy to digest but also thought-provoking and insightful.

Very empowering!
This audiobook is geared towards women; I was told to just listen to it by my therapist. I was able to take some of the knowledge and apply it to my real life. I face unprocessed trauma on a daily basis. This audiobook helped me calm down and feel better. I recommend this book to both men and women.
