How We Heal Trauma, Awaken Our Own Power, and Use It For Good In an increasingly polarized world where trauma is often publicly renegotiated, our nervous systems are on high alert. From skyrocketing rates of depression and anxiety to physical illnesses such as autoimmune diseases and digestive disorders, many women today find themselves living out of alignment with their bodies. 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 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.
