Tilt

Tilt: Seeking Balance in Troubled Times, is a slim book of sixteen short stories from the author's life as she navigates the choppy seas of 2020. In a year of turmoil brought on by a pandemic, economic lockdown, and political strife, many of us felt our stress levels rise to new heights. Using engaging imagery and a poetic voice, the author shares her pain of missing being with loved ones and the angst of living in a deeply divided political environment. From her perspective as a somatic psychotherapist, she explains how the nervous system reacts to stress and provides self-help tools to regain a feeling of balance in difficult times. She offers breathing and centering techniques that can soothe a troubled soul and communication skills for couples and those in conflict. Each chapter is illustrated by the author with an original image of chalk on black paper. This is an insightful read full of wisdom and heart.
