Self-help & personal development

A transformative guide and radical invitation to come home to your body-finding safety, joy, and connection, exactly as you are

Movement, breathing exercises, parts work, and writing practices for a fully embodied life-somatic resources for readers dealing with chronic illness, trauma, and more

We all deserve to live fully embodied lives that are attuned to the joys, pleasures, challenges, and vibrancy of being alive. Writing Home offers accessible somatic writing practices to help you connect more deeply to your body-and embrace your own unique story and creative genius beyond the boundaries of health, wellness, and ability.

This book guides you on a somatic journey to root into your body's presence; listen to your body's wisdom; reclaim pleasure; and integrate joyful, creative practice into your daily life. Each chapter blends evocative teachings, insights from author Johanna Franzel's lived experience with chronic illness, and practical, gentle prompts that are designed to meet you-and nourish you-where you are. You'll learn to-

Listen to your body's wisdom and respond with compassion

Nurture a sense of belonging in the body you have, right now, as it is

Break free from imposed definitions of health and wholeness

Cultivate creativity and presence

Build daily practices to nourish your embodied wisdom

This book doesn't ask that you embrace toxic positivity, adopt individual solutions to collective problems, or ignore the challenges and struggles you hold in your body. Rather, it serves as a radical invitation into your own embodied healing-and a guide to creating your own vision of wholeness.
