Therapeutic Book Club - The Mountain is you

Featured Read: The Mountain Is You

Have you ever felt like you are your own biggest obstacle? Perhaps you find yourself stepping back right when you’re on the verge of a breakthrough, or falling into old, familiar patterns just as life starts to feel peaceful.

In popular culture, we call this self-sabotage.

In trauma-informed, somatic practice, we call it something entirely different: a brilliant survival adaptation.

What We Will Explore Together:

Over the course of our weeks together, we will dive deep into the somatic landscape of change, moving through the core pillars of the text:

  • Reframing the “Mountain”: Learn to view your repetitive roadblocks not as personal failures, but as subconscious coping mechanisms that deserve our curiosity and compassion.

  • Expanding Your “Upper Limit”: Understand why your body sometimes resists positive emotions and learn gentle, somatic grounding tools to safely increase your threshold for happiness and ease.

  • Decoding Your Triggers: Shift from getting lost in the story of your triggers to tracking where they live in your body, allowing old emotional patterns to safely move through you.

  • Honoring the Body’s Timeline: Realize that internal excavation isn’t a linear sprint. We will honor your body’s natural pacing, fostering true resilience rather than forced “hustle.”
