Joelle,
I honestly wish I'd had this book 25 years ago。 I've had to sort out so much on my own, slowly, over time, often alone while spending lots of money on healing modalities of ALL kinds。 I'm glad I did all that work, but if I'd had this book it would have all happened faster and in a more integrated way。 This book puts so much in perspective: how my particular nervous system is attuned, how things I don't think of as trauma (not enough rest or downtime) when piled on together form a kind of self-ab I honestly wish I'd had this book 25 years ago。 I've had to sort out so much on my own, slowly, over time, often alone while spending lots of money on healing modalities of ALL kinds。 I'm glad I did all that work, but if I'd had this book it would have all happened faster and in a more integrated way。 This book puts so much in perspective: how my particular nervous system is attuned, how things I don't think of as trauma (not enough rest or downtime) when piled on together form a kind of self-abuse, and why in the world I stayed in some crazy relationships that were obviously going nowhere (but were reinforcing old nervous system patterns)。 Kimberly is on the cutting edge of women's health and wellbeing。 She was with her first book, _The Fourth Trimester_ and she is even more so, more boldly, more out loud, and with an even bigger scope with _Call of the Wild。 This is a beautiful, powerful book。 It's cutting edge insight for women everywhere, and for the men who are not afraid of their feminine。 Plus the cover is stunning。BUY THIS BOOK! And give copies to your friends! 。。。more
Whitney,
Call of the Wild is a flaming torch of possibility, illuminating a way forward in a world that seems increasingly stuck, confused, and unable to heal from what ails us, no matter how much therapy we do。 This book clearly and powerfully outlines why it’s not our willpower that will lead us to liberation, but rather getting back in touch with our own wild nature + the language of the body that is the key to our aliveness。 This book offers not just the idea of healing, but a tangible, clear roadmap Call of the Wild is a flaming torch of possibility, illuminating a way forward in a world that seems increasingly stuck, confused, and unable to heal from what ails us, no matter how much therapy we do。 This book clearly and powerfully outlines why it’s not our willpower that will lead us to liberation, but rather getting back in touch with our own wild nature + the language of the body that is the key to our aliveness。 This book offers not just the idea of healing, but a tangible, clear roadmap to it。 Weaving together incredible passion and expertise, Kimberly’s work is absolutely essential, and Call of the Wild is a profound and much needed gift for the world。 。。。more

Masterfully written for beginners and seasoned somatic experiencers alike。 The layers of this work slowly unwind to reveal the healing potential that is innate to human existence, the potential to actually heal trauma, awaken our own power, and use it for good。 Kimberly weaves the practical and the scientific in this ongoing discussion of human health and wellbeing, and how to build a more resilient nervous system, leaving behind the language of pushing through or biohacking and instead she invi Masterfully written for beginners and seasoned somatic experiencers alike。 The layers of this work slowly unwind to reveal the healing potential that is innate to human existence, the potential to actually heal trauma, awaken our own power, and use it for good。 Kimberly weaves the practical and the scientific in this ongoing discussion of human health and wellbeing, and how to build a more resilient nervous system, leaving behind the language of pushing through or biohacking and instead she invites us to feel our systems in the way they were meant to be felt。 Reading slowly, I am reminded of how to feel good NOW, and how easy it really is。 As a student of somatic experiencing, and a student of life, this book really lays out the principles for a more embodied life, a life that is not devoid of any struggle but one that can adjust and calibrate to the experiences we are all going to go through: fear, loss, anger, joy, sex, contentment, and how to greet them all as friends。 As someone who has been assaulted many times, struggled with addiction, suffered gynecological trauma, been in car accidents, and has been a general "victim of life" at points, this book really is the cherry on top for me because I can literally open it to any page and enjoy knowing that I have the power to help myself in subtle yet profound ways。 。。。more
Jessica Murphy,
Through real-world experiences and firsthand examples, this book explains the science of nervous system theory in a way that makes what could be a dense and complex topic into a relatable and enlightening read。This book stands apart in its ability to draw a connection between the interrelatedness of a healthy individual and a healthy community, society, and world。 In our modern-day, increasingly isolated, stressed, polarized, and traumatized world, the author makes the case of returning to our b Through real-world experiences and firsthand examples, this book explains the science of nervous system theory in a way that makes what could be a dense and complex topic into a relatable and enlightening read。This book stands apart in its ability to draw a connection between the interrelatedness of a healthy individual and a healthy community, society, and world。 In our modern-day, increasingly isolated, stressed, polarized, and traumatized world, the author makes the case of returning to our bodies as a source of innate wisdom to help heal ourselves and our communities。If you practice yoga, meditation or breathwork; if you want to better understand trauma & the nervous system; if you've struggled to try to think your way out of anxiety or depression there is something in here for you。 Most of all if you want to be able to understand your own patterns and tendencies, or just want to be able to better relate to yourself and others, this book will give you a foundation of understanding how we as humans are wired and how to work with your nervous system instead of against it。 。。。more
Rahi Chun,
Rare is it to experience a medium that invites a new paradigm for experiencing that medium; Although Kimberly Ann Johnson’s "Call of the Wild" is in book form, it’s really an embodied experiential journey into the reader’s awareness, self-intimacy, and reclamation of their senses and through this, a reclamation of their nervous system behavior, patterns, and lives。 Her inside-out, bottom-up guidance for metabolizing past contractions and activating our inner animal via carefully sequenced somati Rare is it to experience a medium that invites a new paradigm for experiencing that medium; Although Kimberly Ann Johnson’s "Call of the Wild" is in book form, it’s really an embodied experiential journey into the reader’s awareness, self-intimacy, and reclamation of their senses and through this, a reclamation of their nervous system behavior, patterns, and lives。 Her inside-out, bottom-up guidance for metabolizing past contractions and activating our inner animal via carefully sequenced somatic experiences, coupled with cognitive clarity, invites the most intimate areas of our nervous system to be met, allowing for its authentic roar, primal sexual truths, and access to the full predator/prey continuum。 A must-experience for anyone who desires to befriend their nervous system, but particularly for those seeking to love their body’s freedom for authentic expression, embodiment, and living。 。。。more
Shannon,
I'm going to keep sharing information on this book。 Kimberly Ann Johnson has written a clear and concise book on trauma and the nervous system with specific focus on the neurobiology of being a woman (biological female)。 This book encourages a deep exploration of our primitive states and rhythms as women。 It normalizes states of being that have been culturally conditioned out of us。 This book not only serves to heal trauma, yet also acts as a guide to increase capacity of joy, pleasure and sensu I'm going to keep sharing information on this book。 Kimberly Ann Johnson has written a clear and concise book on trauma and the nervous system with specific focus on the neurobiology of being a woman (biological female)。 This book encourages a deep exploration of our primitive states and rhythms as women。 It normalizes states of being that have been culturally conditioned out of us。 This book not only serves to heal trauma, yet also acts as a guide to increase capacity of joy, pleasure and sensuality in life without the cloud of cultural morality。 Heed your CALL OF THE WILD today!

Kirsten Incorvaia,
I'm part of Kimberly's book launch team and have had the honor of being an early reader of Call of the Wild。 I've been a huge fan of Kimberly's work for years, and this book takes it to the next level。 I'm new to the world of Somatic Experience, and this book is the perfect entry point into learning about the nervous system and trauma healing (especially for female bodies)。 The content is deep, comprehensive and advanced while being presented in a clear, simple, digestible way。 I can't wait to s I'm part of Kimberly's book launch team and have had the honor of being an early reader of Call of the Wild。 I've been a huge fan of Kimberly's work for years, and this book takes it to the next level。 I'm new to the world of Somatic Experience, and this book is the perfect entry point into learning about the nervous system and trauma healing (especially for female bodies)。 The content is deep, comprehensive and advanced while being presented in a clear, simple, digestible way。 I can't wait to share this book with everyone I know。 There's not a single person in my life who wouldn't benefit from this knowledge! 。。。more
Jasmina Brković,
I've been a fan of Kimberly's pioneering work for years and this book truly is a crown of her work that draws from her rich experience of helping women resolve trauma and regulate their nervous system。 Call of the wild does more than brilliantly synthesize key concepts from the field of somatics and the work of Porges, Levine, van Der Kolk etc。 It carries the torch forward, into fine-tuned understanding of the (feminine) nervous system, and translates this knowledge into practical, understandabl I've been a fan of Kimberly's pioneering work for years and this book truly is a crown of her work that draws from her rich experience of helping women resolve trauma and regulate their nervous system。 Call of the wild does more than brilliantly synthesize key concepts from the field of somatics and the work of Porges, Levine, van Der Kolk etc。 It carries the torch forward, into fine-tuned understanding of the (feminine) nervous system, and translates this knowledge into practical, understandable, usable, real world wisdom。 This book is informative, practical and poetic at the same time。 It's oriented towards building authenticity rooted in the body and a sense of belonging to oneself。 Towards having a felt sense of being true to your basic animal nature, but at the same time, being exalted in it。I love it。 。。。more
