About this listen
“Thoroughly researched, clearly explained, and beautifully illustrated…[this book] provides powerful insights and actionable steps for regulating the nervous system.”
—Alex Korb, Ph.D., Neuroscientist, Personal Development Coach, and Author of The Upward Spiral
A somatic approach to treating trauma, anxiety, and depression has never been more popular. Perhaps that’s because recent studies show that 80% of mind-body communication originates in the body —the vagus nerve is the superhighway that facilitates this communication.
Healing Through the Vagus Nerve walks you through how the nervous system and the vagus nerve function, with approachable, non-academic language and helpful illustrations. Amanda Armstrong (founder of Rise as We) teaches all about vagal tone and the impact it has on your mental health and everyday life. Then, a variety of exercises and practices provide an adaptable approach to improving nervous system function:
- Breathing techniques including diaphragmatic breathing, physiological sigh, voo breath, and the Valsalva technique
- Massage techniques for the ear, neck, and abdomen
- Visual techniques including lateral eye stretches, eye pushups, orienting, eye cupping, and gaze opening
- Physical techniques including cold exposure, yoga, and more
Featuring relatable client stories, key details of the author’s own journey healing her nervous system, and a selection of entry points to help engage with the process, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve is a complete guide to improving your stress response through optimizing your vagus nerve and nervous system.
Learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Feeling anxious and disconnected are signs of a nervous system that's out of balance. Something as small as a curt message from our boss can be perceived by our bodies as a threat to life. By understanding our physiological stress response, we can override and heal our emotional response, and fix the behaviours sabotaging our health and happiness. In The Vagus Nerve Reset, Anna Ferguson offers somatic therapies alongside the science of Polyvagal Theory, to help us train our nervous system to stop overreacting, and start responding more calmly to day-to-day stressors and heal past experiences.

Are you struggling with IBS, Crohn's Disease, constipation, IBD, or other gut issues, and nothing is helping? If you have tried everything and aren’t feeling better, your vagus nerve might be the culprit. Trauma, chronic stress, or surgery can damage your vagus nerve and put you into a perpetual state of fight, flight, freeze, instead of rest, digest, and heal. When the vagus nerve isn’t working properly, there is a lack of communication between the gut and the brain. This makes it hard for your body and your gut to function properly. “The Vagus Nerve Gut-Brain Connection: Heal Your ...
