Tuned In: A guide to reconnecting with yourself
Your inbox fills before you've had coffee. You snap at the people you love the moment you walk through the door. Your shoulders climb toward your ears every Sunday night before the week has even started.
You're witnessing a nervous system that was never taught how to come back to center.
Licensed clinical social worker and founder of Rooted Rhythm, Sophie Schauermann draws on over a decade of clinical experience to show that self-regulation is a skill you can build at any age.
Many adults are highly sensitive, taking in sensory and emotional information more deeply than most. Many more carry no particular label at all and are simply trying to function in a world that asks more of the nervous system than it was built to give. Most self-help treats big reactions as something to manage or suppress. This book treats them as information.
You'll learn:
Why your reactions are physiology, not a character flawHow to tell the difference between fight, flight, and shutdown in your own bodyBody-based tools to come back to center when you're triggered or floodedThe difference between guilt and shame, and how to interrupt the shame-anger loopHow to set boundaries that hold without hardening youHow to build relationships, routines, and a life that regulate you instead of draining youGrounded in polyvagal theory, attachment research, and over a decade of clinical work, this book offers regulation tools tested with real clients. You'll understand your sensitivity as a strength to build on, not a problem to fix.
When you learn to regulate your own nervous system, you stop bracing against your reactions and start working with them. You show up steadier for the people who depend on you, and steadier in your own life.
This book will help you find your way back to steady.
