Editorial Reviews
Review
"Insightful . . . A sturdy yet flexible framework for integrated mind-body healing. Those who feel 'stressed, sick and stuck' would do well to check this out." — Publishers Weekly
“The Secret Language of the Body is a delightfully lucid guide to get in touch with your self- your body - the organism you inhabit. Many mental and physical problems have their roots in habitual patterns of dealing with stressors. These originally helped you to cope and survive, but in the long range often start working against you. Jen and Karden gently and beautifully invite us to experience our selves- our bodies, minds, sensations and emotions, to befriend and care for the creatures that we are.” — Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, New York Times bestselling author of The Body Keeps the Score
“The secret language of the body is just that, secret, until we learn its language, and this book is our translator. Jen and Karden have connected mind and body in a new dialect, bringing you from disparate parts into a highly functioning whole. A must-read for anyone seeking profound and impactful self-healing.” — Dr. Russell Kennedy, founder of The Anxiety MD and bestselling author of Anxiety Rx
"A tactical and practical action guide to nervous system regulation and self healing. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to help you reconnect with your body’s miraculous ability to heal itself." — Dr. Perry Nickelston, author and founder of Stop Chasing Pain
"The connection between trauma and illness is complex and poorly understood. Many people see a doctor for chronic health problems, not understanding it is connected to internal mental and emotional pain. This book shares a simple approach to create healing breakthroughs by reinventing the neurology of your mind and physiology of your body." — Joshua Rosenthal, founder of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and bestselling author of Integrative Nutrition
"The Secret Language of the Body is a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to a more integrated, vibrant self. It's a must-read for those passionate about unlocking the body's profound capacity for renewal and transformation." — Dr. Scott Lyons, holistic psychologist and founder of The Embody Lab

5.0 out of 5 stars Book is a Game Changer
As someone who has spent years in high-pressure environments, I’ve read numerous books on stress, trauma, and personal development, but nothing has resonated with me quite like this. Most resources I’ve come across have left me with more questions than answers about how to put theory into practice. Jen and Karden have truly cracked the code. They’ve managed to weave together complex topics—like trauma healing, polyvagal theory, and inner child work—into something that’s not only digestible but actionable. What really sets this book apart are the practical exercises at the end of each chapter, which made it easy for me to integrate the insights into my life right away. For anyone serious about self-care and growth, this book is a game-changer. It’s unlike anything else out there.
5.0 out of 5 stars Life-changing book!
An incredible book packed with life-changing information. Karden’s work and wealth of knowledge is condensed into a guide for healing in a safe and intuitive way. It offers a comprehensive approach to understanding the body's response to stress and provides practical strategies for healing mind-body symptoms. It’s clear and engaging, with tangible steps to become a self-healer. Highly recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars An empowering self-healing resource!
This book is a must-read that masterfully bridges the gap between mind and body. Providing an array of insightful explanations and practical exercises, the authors guide readers on a transformative, life-changing journey of self-discovery and healing by listening and responding skillfully to the powerful messages from the body's nervous system. This gem is filled with actionable tactics and practices for tuning into body sensations and emotions, interrupting coping habits and survival patterns that create physical and emotional symptoms and then rewiring/resolving nervous system dysregulation. It is an exceptional resource for deepening connection to oneself and empowering life-changing self-healing!
5.0 out of 5 stars Your comprehensive guide to feeling better
What an outstanding resource for anyone who is looking to feel better and have peace in their lives. This book is chock full of information that will blow your mind, yet in an approachable way. Who knew how important the nervous system is to all dis-ease? This often overlooked but crucial system of our bodies finally gets the attention it deserves. The authors do an amazing job giving practical exercises to learn how to soothe yourself. I highly recommend this book as an addition to every library.
5.0 out of 5 stars Ground-breaking book for those suffering from physical ailments
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from long-standing physical ailments that traditional medicine has not been able to adequately address. The book is an easy and engaging read, with clear explanations for why our body presents itself the way it does and with practical solutions to address our physical ailments. The authors clearly care about our well-being, and I suggest you gift yourself this book to begin your journey to self-healing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book for self discovery!
I have spent most of my life with a strong negative inner critic, an intense amount of self hatred and an unhealthy attachment to my often irrational guilt. Unbeknownst to me these features of my inner self caused a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, sleep issues, physical pains and a very low self image.The knowledge that I have gotten from this book has helped me to connect with my dis regulated nervous system. I can now recognize my triggers and bring comfort to them so they are not controlling my reactions in stressful situations. I have worked very hard to shift the way my inner voice speaks to me and now I truly believe I am worthy of love and I'm not broken. Thank you Karden and Jen for teaching so many to heal themselves.
5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, practical, effective nervous system healing
Very easy to read, understand, and apply to day-to-day life. This book is packed with relatable examples and stories that build relevant context. This book is a minimal financial investment and gives you all of the tools you need to proactively change your life.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Info But A Bit Confusing
I think the authors gave a lot of great information in this book and are really knowledgeable about this. The exercises and tools all line up with other somatic ANS practitioners but it feels a bit overwhelming to put together what the actual process is. Especially for someone with ANS dysregulation. I feel like I have to gather up all the info and write out my own plan so I can see what to do and what the options are. It would have been helpful if the authors included a comprehensive summary of the processes and different possible exercises to do in each part so I could use it as a quick reference guide. Maybe they could write one up and share on a website. There is a very brief summary at the end but it doesn’t list out any of the exercises. I would have also liked to hear a more about her own healing journey and what that looked like.
Incontournable
En appliquant réellement les conseils, je constate de réelles changements. Attention, il faut faire un vrai travail sur le long terme pour obtenir de vraies changements durables, mais ce livre est l’outil le plus complet dans ce domaine à ce jour pour les utilisateurs non experts de la santé
Absolutely fundamental and beautifully tangible
I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with the fast pace of life, anxiety, trauma, stress, chronic illness, low self-esteem, depression or suffering from the pressures of social media etc.!For years, I went from doctor to doctor, and from psychologist to psychologist, trying everything from spiritual practices to mindset-based approaches, but never found true improvement.Then, I began to understand that a nervous system stuck in survival mode (or better, trauma) is often the root cause of our unwellness, overwhelm, and anxiety. Once I started regulating my nervous system, for the first time, I could actually see real improvements in how safe I felt in my body. My symptoms are becoming less and less, and I feel more capable overall. I'm finally starting to enjoy life again.This book offers the absolute fundamentals of what it means to regulate your nervous system and practice self-attunement. It simplifies the complex topic of nervous system healing and provides effective exercises that make it easy to apply the theory. I've read so many self-help books, but I've never come across one that hits the nail on the head as much as this one.It is beautifully written, and the authors are truly genuine and warm people.I'll forever be grateful I found their work!
Amazing book that gave me lots of insights in my own nervous system
I loved this book because it not only teaches you how your nervous system works but also gives you lots of practises to influence the phases that you're in. English isn't my first language but I was still able to understand it all. I find that the practises really work if you put the effort in, some feel quite silly and others will bring you great relief. I'm very glad I found this book and I've been trying all of them in the hopes of healing my (as I found out; severely dysregulated) nervous system.
An essential piece of the healing puzzle that I was missing
This book is a GAME CHANGER. I’ve been are able to apply it’s guidance from the beginning, and though I’ve only gotten through the first quarter, it is already making such a difference in my day to day life. I rarely leave reviews, but after yet another very meaningfull passage of the book I felt compelled (again) to put it down and write this to express my gratitude to the authors and their publisher.No healing knowledge, tool or approach is a universal remedy that will solve everything, but boy, does this address a hugely important piece of the puzzle that I had been missing.I have done a fair amount of healing and work on myself for the last 13 years, through therapy, reading, connecting with others and my work (I am blessed and lucky to be able to make art for a living). Through all of this, I have been able to successfully deal with much trauma, discover neuro diversity and understand specific mental traits of mine which didn’t need fixing as I had always thought.Despite all this work and healing, (done primarily on the mind side of things) I was quite perplexed as more and more serious symptoms of physical exhaustion gradually started arising in my body for the last 4 years.So I guess I was more than ready to discover the wisdom and teachings in this book. As the budists say, « when the student is ready the master appears » and so Jenn appeared in my instagram feed.Who knew that we are not just the thinking voice that speaks with words in our mind? We are also the feeling and perceiving creature that lives in our body, like russian dolls !Who knew we have more than just our word-based languages; and that feeling, emotions and perception are not just fluffy, weak, encumbering and dismissable parts of our existence? (not my true beliefs but certainly borrowed views I had internalized growing up, sigh!)It is not like I had never heard about intuition, or read about many of these topics before, but never had I read things explained and connected in this particular way. It just clicked and made so much sense to me. It also provides a super interesting framework for me to understand many experiences I have had through making art or writing poetry. I used to say that it was such a relief to connecto to my « art making state » that it felt like it «connected me to a different tv channel of existence ». With this book I understand better why I feel this.Finally, let me say that I particularly appreciate that the book is written from both a professional practitioner’s knowledge gained through client work (which is very valuable in itself), AND also complemented by the real life experience and hard-earned wisdom of a human that has gone through some of the gravest and most difficult consequences of not understanding your nervous system. Jenn, I am very thankful that I have found this before my symptomps evolved into a full-blown, mind-and-body-crippling burnout, and I commend you for having been able to overcome yours.You guys have reminded me that no one is irreparably broken, there is so much we can do, at so many levels, and this book can help with an essential part of anyone’s healing journey. It gives me so much hope for the future.I wish to complete this review when I have finished reading, but let me say that just what I have learnt so far makes it totally worth buying it.I have already started gifting it to friends, so that when they feel ready, help will be waiting for them in their library, at their fingertips.I hope this review will help you give this gift to yourself too.
Comprehensive guide to healing your nervous system
I wrote a very detailed review but Bolo said it breached their guidelines, I think possible because I talked too much about my past & why I've got a disregulated nervous system so here is my brief review.This book is excellent, very informative with thorough explanations together with practical exercises. If you want to know how to heal your nervous system & have tried conventional therapies & they haven't worked this book explains why & gives you the way out/the path. The first time I read it I was a bit overwhelmed as it contains a lot of information, the second time I understood it & made my own notes referencing page numbers to refer back to. As Jen & Karden say, pick the parts that speak to you, resonate with you & go with the practices. For the first time I am listening to my body & what it is trying to say to me instead of focusing on what my mind & thoughts are telling me. I'm trying not to ignore the whispers of my body, if you truly listen your body has all the answers. This book will show you how. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to heal their nervous system, you may have felt like this for years, I know I have & this book will show you how. After a week of reading it and doing some of the practices I already feel better. I'm on a journey to get to know me & my body & again this book has the answers.Reading Jen's own story & the other real life stories really resonated with me. There is hope, you are not stuck & you are certainly not broken. Thank you Jen & Karden for writing, this book will help a lot of people. I highly recommend this book.
