About this listen
From trauma educator and somatic guide Kimberly Ann Johnson comes a cutting-edge guide for tapping into the wisdom and resilience of the body to rewire the nervous system, heal from trauma, and live fully.
In an increasingly polarized world where trauma is often publicly renegotiated, our nervous systems are on high alert. From skyrocketing rates of depression and anxiety to physical illnesses such as autoimmune diseases and digestive disorders, many women today find themselves living out of alignment with their bodies.
Kimberly Johnson is a somatic practitioner, birth doula, and postpartum educator who specializes in helping women recover from all forms of trauma. In her work, she’s seen the same themes play out time and again. In a culture that prioritizes executive function and “mind over matter", many women are suffering from deeply unresolved pain that causes mental and physical stagnation and illness.
In Call of the Wild, Johnson offers an eye-opening look at this epidemic as well as an informative view of the human nervous system and how it responds to difficult events. From the “small t” traumas of getting ghosted, experiencing a fall-out with a close friend, or swerving to avoid a car accident to the “capital T” traumas of sexual assault, an upending natural disaster, or a life-threatening illness - Johnson explains how the nervous system both protects us from immediate harm and creates reverberations that ripple through a lifetime.
In this practical, empowering guide, Johnson shows readers how to metabolize these nervous system responses, allowing everyone to come home to their deepest, most intuitive and whole selves. Following her supportive advice, readers will learn how to move from wholeness, tapping into the innate wisdom of their senses, soothing frayed nerves and reconnecting with their “animal selves".
While we cannot cure the painful cultural rifts inflicting our society, there is a path forward - through our bodies.

Everyone needs to read this book!
This book is revolutionary in the way in-depth subjects including our nervous system, polyvagal theory and somatic healing are broken down into terms that are easily recognised, processed and understood. Full of the most brilliant practical exercises, packed with interesting examples of how our bodies react to, hold and express traumas, aswell as numerous examples of simple, everyday ways to regulate the nervous system and bring more joy to life. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants more joy, more meaningful connection and more presence in every moment.
I am on my second listen already and the message is clear; we only have one go at this life, and reparation and abundance lies in our own hands. We don’t need to spend a heap of money on therapy or healing. There are simple, yet profound ways to sit with how we feel, shift it and be as authentic as possible.
One of the best books I’ve ever read. Buy it now. It will change your life for the better.

Highly recommended
This book was very insightful for me. I am already thinking of going back and listening to it again & practice the exercises. The chapter related to sexuality was particularly eye opening & both me and my partner has learned a lot from it and I have no doubt it will help us deepen our relationship as we are encouraged to look into our own default neurobiological responses & work on overcoming limitations.
