A review by iaproton
Soothe: The book your nervous system has been longing for by Nahid de belgeonne

The introduction isn't so helpful and could be triggering.  Narration mostly calm and relaxing .She goes off on these tangents with her statistics getting nowhere near the chapter heading and most of it is basic information.

Part 2 Daily Practice
1) 6-6 breathing 5 and building up to 20 mins over a month,preferring in nature  in dailylight and with movement.

It requires a carpeted floor or a yoga mat.

Joint mobilisation exercise - gently shaking the whole body for a minute ,some bouncing and ankle rotation exercises that require standing,rolling the shoulders.Every 20mins look outside the window to take eye breaks from the computer.Rolling eye movements. ♾️ eye movements.
Rolling pelvis while sitting

I fail to see the evidence for all these exercises, I did a couple and didn't feel any better, just awkward.There's more evidence for tapping, havening and isometric yoga.
