"Kimberly Ann Johnson is 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."
