Have pills, counselling and physical exercise done little to help alleviate your anxiety or depression?Talk therapy, exercise, and anti-depressant medications are currently the most population solutions for dealing with chronic anxiety and depression, and millions of adults in western countries now use these doctor recommended treatments for a wide range of mental health issues. However, many find that these conventional treatments do little to alleviate their chronic suffering. The somatic (or body-based) approach to dealing with anxiety and depression is based on the idea that our thoughts and feelings are influenced by the two-way communication between our brain and body, and that many, if not most, people with chronic mood problems have dysregulated nervous systems rather than brains that are malfunctioning because of faulty thinking or chemical imbalances. The Brain-Body Solution: Somatic Therapy for Chronic Anxiety and Depression is a concise ebooklet which explains why many common approaches to dealing with mood disorders fail to address core physiological issues in anxiety and depression, and why many sufferers don’t respond to the usual recommendations of antidepressants, counselling, and regular physical exercise. It also outlines a number of body-based approaches for dealing with chronic mood disorders that have been developed by psychologists, body therapists, and others working in the highly-challenging field of trauma therapy (approximately 10,600 words including glossary and resources).
