Resumen del Editor

From trauma educator and somatic guide Kimberly Ann Johnson comes a cutting-edge guide for tapping into the wisdom and resilience of the body to rewire the nervous system, heal from trauma, and live fully.

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.

Kimberly Johnson is a somatic practitioner, birth doula, and postpartum educator who specializes in helping women recover from all forms of trauma. In her work, she’s seen the same themes play out time and again. In a culture that prioritizes executive function and “mind over matter", many women are suffering from deeply unresolved pain that causes mental and physical stagnation and illness.

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, experiencing a fall-out with a close friend, 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.

In this practical, empowering guide, Johnson shows readers how to metabolize these nervous system responses, allowing everyone to come home to their deepest, most intuitive and whole selves. Following her supportive advice, readers will learn how to move from wholeness, tapping into the innate wisdom of their senses, soothing frayed nerves and reconnecting with their “animal selves".

While we cannot cure the painful cultural rifts inflicting our society, there is a path forward - through our bodies.

Such an excellent book 🤓

I thought is was extremely insightful and felt fortunate to have access to such knowledge. Even recommended to a few guy friends because I found it to be universally valuable.
This was inspiring from female to female, wanting to generate authentic value for the world.

Yes, yes, yes

Loved this book!! !! It was recommended to me by my relationship coach who specializes in somatic-based coaching. This work is cutting edge and groundbreaking! 5 stars from me!!!

Poignant, pertinent, and positively timely!

As a psychologist, mother and grandmother I endorse this work enthusiastically! Ms. Johnson weaves together extremely diverse yet intimately connected concepts and tools that all women can benefit and heal through.

Insightful and Magical

Absolutely amazing! So helpful and provides such great insights to connect mind body and soul. I recommend this to everyone!

Amazing! Life changing book

I highly recommend this book. There were parts that were hard to listen to while multi-tasking as the book has numerous deep thoughts and insights. I wasn’t able to give it undivided focus, but am glad I made it though the parts that were harder to maintain momentum with. I will refer back to this book and share lessons I have learned with friends and my partner.

Really wonderful information

I felt like she was speaking directly to me about me. The information really resonated with me. I'm going to buy the text copy of the book too.
I'm dyslexic, so that's why I prefer audiobooks. Usually I prefer books like this to be read by the author. Not the case for this one. I'm not docking any stars because I think that's totally unimportant to the book. I listened to a podcast with this author and her tone was sweet and conversational, but it's hard to read a book in a conversational tone. I do think this author could have done well to hire a professional to read her book, but again, the information is what this book is all about and I'm so thankful for the time and effort she went through to learn and share this knowledge.

Incredibly important nervous system understanding from a female lense

Incredible read full of practical examples, stories and tools for understanding the female nervous system in a world currently attempting to erase the feminine & claim no difference between men and women.

I have gifted this book to several friend and have participated in multiple rounds of Kimberly’s Jaguar course which I highly recommend, especially if you want to deepen your understanding or prefer live learning.

A seminal work in the field of trauma!

Call of the Wild is PHENOMENAL!!!! Kimberly Ann Johnson offers incisive perception and delivers it in relatable, easy-to-understand ways. I’ve been studying trauma for years, and still learned so much from this book. It’s a must-read for professionals working with traumatized individuals and groups, and also for anyone wanting to heal old patterns and move forward with greater ease, clarity and strength.

Life changing book

I recommend this book to all humans that are still stuck regardless of how much inner work they’ve done. This book gives you insight into some of the deepest patterning within that are extremely difficult to see. It’s a rare human that feels like they are truly authentic and knows how to express themselves verbally and physically whether it’s with family, in the workplace, or in the bedroom. This book will help you find yourself!

Beautifully Articulated

Kimberly has a wonderful gift of describing things in a whole new way that is beyond healing and helpful. This book has been way better than I could have ever imagined and very healing. I loved all the exercises! I highly recommend doing them as you listen or read the book then implementing them in your life! Thank you Kimberly Ann Johnson you have changed my life yet again with another wonderful book!
