Learn how to engage your brain's capacity for healing with this two-book set by Sarah Peyton, an internationally recognized expert and trainer on language, self-compassion, and trauma. This bundle contains one copy each of the best-selling Your Resonant Self and Your Resonant Self Workbook. Your Resonant Self describes what needs to happen to make brains a good place to live, and Your Resonant Self Workbook leads people through how to do it. By using both books together, you’ll be able to understand the brain-changing relational neuroscience that supports self-understanding, self-acceptance and self-compassion, while also integrating the life-changing technology of unconscious contracts, freeing readers from limiting beliefs and patterns of self-sabotage. The books are an inseparable whole. Your Resonant Self has all the relational neuroscience and client stories, and the Workbook lets readers experience the real-world application of the material in their own lives and by following the examples of others. The soothing reinforcement of the Workbook amplifies the lessons and teachings of Your Resonant Self and gives readers an opportunity to make the material their own.

When we experience trauma or need to find a way to protect ourselves from interpersonal hurt, we make unconscious contracts with ourselves, such as: “I will never let myself get treated that way again” or “I will never forgive myself for that". But these contracts often result in harmful behaviours like self-criticism, lack of trust and procrastination. Until we recognise and free ourselves from these damaging contracts, we can never truly heal. Your Resonant Self Workbook: From Self-sabotage to Self-care takes us through the world of relational neuroscience and, using the lens of unconscious contracts, explores how our brains, nervous systems and bodies react to the brains, nervous systems and bodies of others. Case studies, resonant-language practice, questionnaires, mediations and journaling provide readers with healing strategies for uncovering and rewriting these contracts. Following Your Resonant Self, this workbook provides the tools to turn inwards with kindness, warmth and curiosity, and create opportunities for self-healing.

We live in complex and unsettled times. The issues before us are unimaginably difficult and range from the personal to the global. This beautiful little book accompanies readers towards a greater sense of peace and self-compassion, reminding us that even though our world is so turbulent, we can still have quiet places within, filled with love, that make it easier to live and to breathe with ourselves. Rooted in the neuroscience of affirmations and covering more than 100 themes (including health, self-care, issues at work, and connection with loved ones and with the planet) this book is a companion for daily life. With the help of questions and wonderings about what may be important for readers, the book gently encourages acceptance of what is. The affirmation for each theme reminds readers of their own strengths and reservoirs of calm, and helps them to remember and reclaim their innate gifts and resources.

Have you ever noticed how cruel and self-sabotaging your critical inner voice can be? Have you been looking outside of yourself for friends and loved ones to reassure you of your worthiness and lovability? The latest developments in neuroscience unveil the amazing extent to which humans are wired for connection, belonging and resonance with other humans. This wiring for connection is so strong, our nervous systems have the capacity to become our own compassionate self-witnesses, even when we have not had access as children to stable loving presence and warmth. The field of neurobiology and the science of mindfulness reveal that the human brain is capable of being engaged in the experience of upset (fear, anxiety, depression) while simultaneously observing and holding ourselves with kindness, as a loving parent or partner would. This ability to be both experiencing and holding the experience is the key to maintaining inner calm in the face of life’s challenges. If we learn to honour that each and every inner voice, no matter how distressing, has the desire to help us, we open to the possibility that each part of us has value. This help creates a gentle, accepting and warm resonance with ourselves that can remain stable and present, even when parts of us feel upset. In simple language and easy-to-follow exercises, Your Resonant Self synthesises the latest discoveries in brain science, trauma treatment and the power of empathy into an effective healing method that literally rewires our brain and restores our capacity for self-love and well-being. Each chapter weaves the core concepts of neurobiology with guided meditations and beautiful illustrations, painting an inspiring picture of the human brain’s inherent yearning towards healing and wholeness.
