About this ebook

Heal pain and triumph over trauma for good!

Whether or not we’re consciously aware of it, no one is spared from trauma. From catastrophic events to everyday experiences of traumatic stress, renowned yoga teacher Liz Arch is willing to bet that trauma has touched you or someone you love and may be affecting your physical, emotional, and mental health in surprising and devastating ways, causing symptoms such as anxiety, panic, depression, mood swings, fatigue, chronic pain, and digestive issues.

Following her own experience with domestic violence and an ensuing struggle with anxiety and panic attacks, Liz found her own path to holistic healing and has become an advocate for those who have suffered from trauma. In The Courage to Rise, she shows how trauma changes our brains and inhabits our bodies, creating a vicious cycle of physical and psychological distress. She offers an integrated approach to take control of your own healing and reclaim your wholeness through movement, mindfulness, and nutrition.

This hopeful and accessible guide addresses the three areas where trauma lives:

The body. Move stuck emotions out of your muscles and tissues through twelve signature Primal Yoga movement sequences.

The brain. A series of meditations and mindfulness practices to rewire your brain and break free from repetitive thought patterns, overwhelming feelings, and painful memories.

The gut. Examine foods that may be exacerbating physical and mental disease; discover the best whole foods to stave off depression and anxiety; plus, thirty delicious and nutritious gut-healing recipes.

The Courage to Rise gives invaluable insight into understanding the nature of trauma and shares effective tools you can use immediately to begin regulating your nervous system, strengthening your emotional resiliency, and transforming pain into your greatest power.
