A different and exciting form of self-care in the form of practical mind to body self-regulation.
In the challenging times of the 21st century, looking after oneself and navigating the bumps in the road has become more difficult than ever. However, this fascinating book, written by two psychotherapists with many years of experience, provides a simple and reliable means of restoring the balance which is vital for the robust body mind system we need if we are to be able to bounce back from adverse experiences.
It is this balance (homeostasis) that provides us with the highway to wellbeing and it is our body mind system’s innate capacity to self regulate which is at the core of this book. Using six key Autogenic Training exercises, the authors provide readers with the skillset to self regulate at any time or any place. These exercises can activate the parasympathetic nervous system and involve body scans, breathing and other bodily awareness exercises.
"The guidance from this book, through the practice of autogenics, has immeasurably enhanced both my personal and professional life. Autogenics should be a standard part, not only of every mental health professional's therapeutic toolkit, but recognised as a necessary resource for us as ‘humans’ to manage the inevitability of this often unsafe and uncertain world in which we live. Achieving Equilibrium is an eloquent, accessible, engaging manual that can be used across cultural, professional and personal domains, to maintain our homeostasis."
* Marianne Le Coyte Grinney, specialist family and systemic psychotherapist and clinical lead *“This volume will enable many to become aware of Autogenic Therapy. It will be a pleasure to share copies with colleagues and friends.”
Judith Wren, former chairperson of the British Autogenic Society
