As a somatic psychotherapist, my work with clients often focuses on the debilitating effects of anxiety in their lives. Michele Blume's insightful book provides the missing link between the work I do in the therapy office and the ongoing work clients can continue to do on their own. Through targeted exercises, it provides a road map for those looking to transcend their anxiety and reach their full potential and vitality. --Kelly Mothner, PhD, psychotherapist in private practice in Hermosa Beach, CA; and certified somatic experiencing practitioner (SEP)--Kelly Mothner, PhD In this book, Michele Blume combines her rich clinical experience in implementing mindful somatic awareness with the latest research on the brain, nervous system, and trauma treatment to offer both therapists and clients practical tools and applications for the treatment of anxiety. For psychotherapists who are introducing more and more somatic techniques into their private practice, this book is a must-read. The author shortcuts needless technical jargon, and gets down to what really works to eradicate high-anxiety states. --Robert Coffman, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist with over forty-five years of clinical experience, international trainer in bioenergetic analysis; and SEP-, EMDR-, and Bodynamic-certified--Robert Coffman, PhD In this helpful guide, Michele Bloom shows that by understanding the origins of your anxiety, you can better mitigate its effects. She knowledgeably walks you through exercises to help you better understand when and how anxiety takes hold of you, offering well-crafted solutions for how to help yourself through the pain of your unique experiences. Blume gently points out that anxiety happens, and that it can often be linked to long-held beliefs from years ago; she then details what you can do about it now. I recommend this book for those suffering from anxiety, and for those looking to help others who are in the throes of their struggle. --Rebekkah LaDyne, MS, SEP, author of The Mind-Body Stress Reset--Rebekkah LaDyne, MS, SEP Michele Blume has a deep understanding of the experience of anxiety and how it manifests in the body. Her comprehensive SOAR model offers a road map to healing through the use of relatable case examples, clear and easy-to-follow exercises, and recordings which may be used by clinicians and laypeople alike. As a trauma therapist, I was able to integrate her model into sessions with immediate results. She is a loving guide who exudes compassion, wisdom, knowledge, and humility. --Jenna Abell, PsyD, trauma and attachment-focused eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)-trained psychologist--Jenna Abell, PsyD
