About this audiobook

Trauma and its effects can feel like a never-ending storm, and there's no safe harbor in sight from the thoughts and emotions that toss and turn so violently and unpredictably in your head. But healing is possible. Your brain can actually rewire these thoughts and emotions. And you can direct that powerful healing process through journaling. By putting your thoughts to paper, you can identify, choose, and permanently adopt new ways of responding to stress. You can create a new narrative of your life-one that breaks you out of your most deeply ingrained and self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. In this powerful guided journal, internationally acclaimed neuroscience journalist and author Donna Jackson Nakazawa outlines her inspiring, innovative, trauma-informed, and mindful Neural Re-Narrating program to help you: acknowledge your past while engaging in the present moment; create a new and empowering written narrative you can revisit again and again; release worry and trauma from your body by putting it onto the page; reduce your anxiety and alleviate symptoms of depression; and access inner calm-even in stressful situations. The act of unburdening oneself is essential when working through troubling or traumatic experiences. Through thoughtful, guided writing experiences, you'll find the strength to live authentically-with hope and optimism for the future.
