New York, NY, August 2, 2026 — Rachel Bliss introduces Whole Body, Whole Mind, an interactive trauma recovery
workbook designed to help individuals understand the effects of trauma while providing practical tools for healing the
mind, body, and nervous system. Created for readers seeking a self guided approach to recovery, the workbook
combines evidence based therapeutic methods with accessible guidance, allowing participants to progress at their
own pace. Its person centered design offers meaningful support for those navigating the lasting effects of trauma,
chronic stress, anxiety, grief, and related challenges.
Throughout Whole Body, Whole Mind, Bliss leads readers through an eleven week structured program that blends
education with hands on practice. The workbook incorporates therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, mindfulness, neuroplasticity, self compassion practices, and emotional regulation techniques. Each chapter features guided journal prompts, reflection questions, practical exercises, and real life applications that encourage readers to actively participate in their own healing journey.
The inspiration for the workbook comes from Bliss' extensive experience as a Licensed Master Social Worker and
trauma specialist working with individuals affected by childhood trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, abuse, grief, anxiety, and chronic stress. Drawing from both professional expertise and a deep commitment to helping others, she
developed this resource to make trauma informed care more accessible for individuals seeking meaningful progress
outside traditional therapy sessions.
Beyond providing practical therapeutic exercises, Whole Body, Whole Mind explores the science behind trauma and
recovery, helping readers understand how traumatic experiences affect the brain, body, and nervous system. Bliss
explains why trauma responses develop while emphasizing that healing is possible through consistent practice, self
awareness, and compassionate self reflection.
Whole Body, Whole Mind is written for individuals seeking practical guidance in overcoming trauma, as well as mental
health professionals, counselors, coaches, and support groups looking for a structured companion resource. Whether beginning the healing process or building upon previous therapeutic work, readers will find accessible tools that support emotional regulation, self compassion, healthier relationships, and long term personal growth.
