Description
From Vagus nerve expert and the voice behind @repairing_the_nervous_system, a cutting-edge program to heal your nervous system —essential reading for anyone struggling with anxiety, chronic pain, burnout, depression, IBS, PTSD, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
Most of us have heard of the mind-body connection, but did you know that there is a physical structure that connects the mind and body? That connection is the Vagus nerve, and it’s singularly responsible for maintaining balance in our mental and physical health.
In The Nervous System Reset, Jessica Maguire shares the wisdom of her popular Nervous System School masterclasses and shows readers how to unlock the power of their Vagus nerve.
Drawing on the science of polyvagal theory and drawing on decades of her own study and coaching experience, Jessica teaches readers neural exercises, breathwork, and somatic practices to widen their window of tolerance in order to…
Regulate their emotions
Resolve trauma and PTSD symptoms
Overcome mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, or burnout
Improve symptoms of chronic pain, fatigue, and autoimmune conditions
Heal digestive disorders like IBS and SIBO
Smart, accessible, and revolutionary The Nervous System Reset is a practical, science-backed program to heal your nervous system for good.
As a person that thinks of my nervous system more than the norm, I enjoyed this book. The real life examples and the solutions helped me along by wellness journey. I have looked back at certain chapters more than once.
This book is an incredible resource for all of us navigating our nervous systems and healing from trauma!
I’ve followed Jessica Maguire on social media for some time, so I’m very familiar with her work. I’ve always wanted to take one of her courses, but in my current season of life, they’ve been a little out of my reach. I was so excited when I found out she was writing a book, in the hopes that maybe I could gain some of her wisdom at a more accessible cost.
This book is worth the cost a million times over! It’s a huge wealth of information and covers everything so in depth, it would be difficult to even cover it all in this review. Jessica not only gets into the various subsystems of the nervous system, but she also gets into the Why. She covers why different nervous system reactions happen and the symptoms they cause in the body, which is extremely helpful. I find that it’s hard to understand how to help yourself if you don’t know why these things happen in the first place, so this is a very important component of this book!
I also loved that she highlights various people and their nervous system challenges throughout. The Nervous System can be an overwhelming part of the body to understand because there’s just SO much to sift through and learn. I really felt like this made parts of the book easier to understand.
With all the in-depth education, as well as the tools given to help work through the various issues one might experience with their own Nervous System, I can see this book becoming my Body Bible of sorts. I was diagnosed with POTS Syndrome as well as with general Dysautonomia symptoms last year, and so much of what I’ve read in this book has been so helpful to me already.
If you’ve been struggling with nervous system related issues or even if you just want to understand different issues going on within your body, I highly recommend this book. I promise that it will become a hugely valuable resource for you!
This book is a very useful resource for anyone hoping to learn more about the nervous system in an easy and relatable way with practical tools to get started on your own. Would definitely recommend
This book is an excellent resource for therapists or anyone who owns a nervous system that they would like to regulate more effectively. Written in an intelligent yet accessible style, Jessica has crafted an excellent guide to make sense of the complexity of our many interrelated bodily systems, and how to manage and improve our self-regulation in a story-based and trauma-informed way. I highly recommend this book.
