While our language trumpets what our bodies know - 'gut feelings,' hearts that 'reach out' to others - many of us have learned to ignore, deny, or even mistrust these messages. Even worse, lots of us just don't like our bodies as they are. The result is that when trauma strikes, a time when we need every aspect of our being to master the challenge, we may find ourselves disconnected from our greatest strengths. Scurlock-Durana, who has spent thirty years studying the gifts of the bodyand teaching thousands how to reclaim them, began to recognize this strength, which she likens to a GPS, when she herself experienced a life-threatening trauma. Fortunately, and as the author's techniques show, the body's abilities are always available; we must simply learn to tune into them.
