Summary
If you want to find out how to heal your mind through your body, this interview with the very kind and compassionate Karden Rabin is a must-listen.
Drawing on decades of research in neuroplasticity, psychology, trauma, behavior, clinical experience with clients, and their own personal journeys of recovering from chronic illness and pain, Jennifer and Karden teach readers how to learn and ‘speak’ the language of the nervous system. Following a simple yet powerful approach called A I R, readers are guided through three stages of regulation:
- Awareness: Listening to the messages in your body through breath, action, sensations, emotions, and language.
- Interruption: stopping the unhelpful patterns in your nervous system and modifying the responses to achieve regulation
- Redesign: rewiring the habits that have been keeping you stuck in order to settle and heal your nervous system, mind and body.
How to heal your mind through your body...
Complete with helpful illustrations of somatic exercises, THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF THE BODY offers a revolutionary look at how we can treat chronic mental and physical illness and empowers us all to unlock the secret language of the nervous system.

| 0:00.0 | This is self-work, and I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford. |
| 0:10.8 | At self-work, we discuss psychological and emotional issues and what you can do about them, |
| 0:16.1 | whether that's learning self-acceptance, taking action, or seeking therapy or treatment. |
| 0:21.8 | Eight years ago, I extended the walls of my practice to reach those of you who might already |
| 0:26.4 | be knowledgeable about middle health treatment, but also to those of you who might say, |
| 0:31.2 | you'd never darken the door of a therapist. And yet, you are here. I'll answer your questions |
| 0:36.7 | while I invite you to take a few minutes for your own self-work. |
| 0:42.7 | It's very important and precious in just the acknowledging that I have a problem, right? |
| 0:48.1 | You know what I mean? |
| 0:48.8 | And I need to work on this, right? |
| 0:50.3 | So the mind gives us that gift. |
| 0:52.1 | But after that point, and this is where we'll get into the body, like moving past CBT, |
| 0:57.5 | is that your cognitive capacities are extremely powerful, but they are the most recent neurological development in your brain. |
| 1:08.0 | Welcome to this week's edition of self-work. |
| 1:12.1 | After doing nine years of self-work, I get so many requests for speakers and authors, |
| 1:18.3 | and I'm so delighted about that, believe me. |
| 1:21.5 | But a lot of them promise transformation, especially with your body and your mind and your |
| 1:27.3 | spirit, but then don't back that up |
| 1:30.7 | with a really clear way of doing what they're talking about doing. The author we're going to |
| 1:38.1 | talk to today is not like that at all. We're talking to Cardin Rabin, and he and Jennifer Mann have co-written a book called |
| 1:46.9 | The Secret Language of the Body. They are both mind-body practitioners. Bessel van der Koke, |
| 1:53.3 | who I greatly admire, says, The Secret Language of the Body is delightfully lucid guide to get in |
