Pre-Order My New Book

📖"In our chronically fractured societies, it has never been more important to be whole. For that reason, we should be careful not to overlook the importance of experiences for which words are often insufficient. To understand why reconnecting with your somatic experience is so vital, we need to start by asking how we became so disconnected in the first place. It didn’t happen by accident. It happened gradually, shaped by culture, by trauma, and by systems that taught us to value the power of the mind over the wisdom of the body."📖

From the back cover: What if the key to feeling safer, stronger, and more at ease was already inside you?

In Why Your Body Speaks and How to Listen, somatic psychotherapist Gregory James offers a practical, science-informed roadmap for understanding the body’s responses to trauma, stress, and anxiety. Supported by established principles of neuroscience and the emerging field of body-based trauma therapy, this book explores how your nervous system holds the story of your life, and how tuning into it can change everything.

Whether you live with anxiety, chronic stress, or the lingering effects of trauma, this book shows you how to work with your body rather than against it. You’ll learn:

• How to recognise signs of nervous system dysregulation

• How to understand the physiology behind your stress responses

• How trauma lives in the body and shapes your reactions

• How to cultivate safety, awareness, and presence in your body

• How to expand your capacity to handle life’s challenges

• How to restore agency, connection, and emotional wellbeing through simple practices

Through clear explanations, relatable stories from the therapy room, and easy-to-use exercises that build progressively from chapter to chapter, this book introduces the concept of somatic resilience—your body’s natural ability to adapt and restore balance in the face of overwhelm.

If you struggle with anxiety, carry the weight of past trauma, or simply feel overwhelmed by modern life, this guide offers a grounded, accessible path forward. Written for curious, everyday readers, it is a powerful invitation to understand your body’s signals, trust its wisdom, and move toward a more connected, resilient life.
