The ultimate step-by-step guide to regulating your nervous system, releasing physical tension, and overcoming chronic stress through the science of somatic therapy.

When life feels like too much, our bodies don’t just react—they hold on. We carry stress in our shoulders, anxiety in our chest, and old hurts deep in our muscles and breath. Written by licensed therapist Cheryl Groskopf, LMFT, LPCC, The Somatic Healing Workbook is a practical, science-backed somatic therapy workbook and guide to releasing that stored tension and retraining your nervous system to feel safe, steady, and at ease again.

Grounded in the latest research on somatic therapy, this book helps you understand why your body feels stuck in stress and shows you how to reset it, gently and effectively.

The Somatic Healing Workbook includes 100 exercises you can do to:

• Calm anxiety and quiet racing thoughts
  
• Manage everyday stress before it spirals
  
• Relieve physical tension in your neck, shoulders, jaw, and gut
  
• Heal trauma stored in the body through gentle movement and breath
  
• Regulate your nervous system and rebuild focus, energy, and emotional resilience
  

Each beginner-friendly practice takes just a few minutes and includes clear steps, a simple explanation of why it works, and tips for daily life. Additional interactive workbook tools like reflection prompts and checklists help you notice patterns, monitor responses, and build a personalized practice.

Whether you’re carrying tension from chronic stress, burnout, or emotional overload, The Somatic Healing Workbook helps you reconnect with your body and find your way back to balance, calm, and presence.

About the Author

Cheryl Groskopf is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Professional Clinical Counselor based in Los Angeles, specializing in overthinking, anxiety, attachment wounds, and trauma, including complex trauma.

Her work goes beyond logic and insight, helping clients understand why their minds and bodies work the way they do—and how to shift out of survival mode. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and trauma-informed nervous system science, Cheryl helps clients get to know the parts of themselves that learned to overanalyze as a way to stay safe. Instead of trying to silence those parts, she works with them gently and respectfully, so they no longer have to carry everything alone.

She also brings a strong somatic focus to her work, helping clients notice what’s happening in their bodies beneath the racing thoughts—held breath, tight chests, quiet tension—and use that awareness to create safety and regulation over time.
