The enteric nervous system, often referred to as our \"second brain,\" plays a crucial role in protecting us from external adversities, including both physical and emotional trauma. As CST-D, MCSS, and author Nikki Kenward explains, past challenges and traumas can be held within the enteric nervous system in various ways, such as fascial tension, cellular changes, and unhelpful \"default settings.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her book \"The Post-Traumatic Gut,\" Kenward delves into the anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system, including the polyvagal system, and explores how our emotional history and current emotional state can impact our digestive system. She shares recent research on the emotional gut and its connection to chronic digestive issues like IBS and Crohns disease, as well as mental health conditions such as anorexia, bulimia, anxiety, and depression. Kenward explains how the digestive gut absorbs emotions and offers practical strategies for healing by addressing psychosomatic stressors rather than solely focusing on nutrition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough case studies from her extensive clinical experience and her own healing journey, Kenward demonstrates the synchronicity between digestive\/metabolic functions and psychological\/perceptual insight. She highlights the importance of allowing the cells to \"speak\" through bodywork techniques like CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release Therapy, which can help renew the microbiome of the second brain, release intergenerational trauma and illness, and restore psychospiritual well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKenward also provides visualization exercises and a hands-on process of listening to the gut layer by layer, allowing individuals to connect with their body's wisdom and heal from trauma stored in the gut. By adopting a holistic approach that encompasses emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects, individuals can experience a profound transformation in their overall health and well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 366g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 228 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781644117880\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2nd Edition, Revised and Updated Edition of It's A\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikki Kenward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44767360876794,"sku":"9781644117880","price":11.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699633295269_book.jpg?v=1699892043","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/overcoming-chronic-digestive-conditions-release-the-visceral-layers-of-posttraumatic-gut-disorder-9781644117880","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
