As a neurocounselor, it’s Dr. Anne’s job to look at complex neuroscience research (neuro-) and turn it into tools folks can actually use (counselor). This book gives you a straightforward system for understanding the science of stress so you can better transmute it into something beautiful.

In Part I: Gravity Point^® Model, you'll learn the foundational framework you need to understand how stress actually works:

• Why a self-care practice has nothing to do with stress and what to do instead
• Why stress responses that kept you safe as a child might be replaying now
• How your system, especially a sensitive one, automatically determines how you feel, think, and act in different situations
• The difference between stress that resolves and stress that gets stuck to form a trauma response
• What you can do to heal present stress and past trauma at the very same time

This part bridges complex research with practical application, giving you the "why" behind the Method for Stress Transmutation you'll learn to use.

Most people think stress responses are limited to fight, flight, and freeze. If you’re lucky, you’ve also heard of fawn, tend, and befriend. 

But through Dr. Anne's research, she discovered there are actually 20 distinct stress responses that cultivate different feelings, thoughts, and actions.

Each response has a name starting with F making them easy to remember - like FOSTER, FAVOR, and FANTASIZE.

For each of the 20 responses, you'll learn:

• What it does and why it matters
• How it shows up in your body, mind, and relationships
• How to resolve it during every single stressful situation

This is particularly helpful for sensitive systems who have lived their life without words for their experiences.

Then you’ll learn the Gravity Point^® Method for Stress Transmutation, a step-by-step, easy to follow process you can use to transmute the stress triggered by various situations, whether you're dealing with:

• Workplace pressure and conflict
• Relationship dynamics
• Family stress
• Health issues
• Financial worry
• Any other triggering situation

Each step in the Method includes clear instructions and journaling prompts so you can apply the process immediately to real situations in your life.

This Method is a practical tool Dr. Anne developed based on 15 years of experience as a trauma therapist, supervisor, and educator. It’s what she used to pull herself out of burnout and teaches every single student so they can do the same. This book gives you access to that exact process so you can turn every Triggering Situation into an Aspirational one.

Gravity Point^® Anthology Volume 1 is published exclusively through the Gravity Point^® Institute Bookstore. Because every copy is custom printed for your order through our independent publishing partner, selling through third-party retailers would introduce variables that could compromise the quality and integrity of what you receive. We'd rather work with you directly so we can stand behind every copy and make sure your experience reflects the care that went into creating it.

It’s exciting for us to see the book being read around the world!

We currently can ship to readers within the United States, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom.

At this time, readers outside of these areas can access an ebook of Gravity Point^® Anthology Volume 1 here.

This isn't a wellness book, and we believe that’s really important for folks to understand.

Most wellness resources give you tools for specific situations: a meditation for anxiety, a framework for grief, a protocol for burnout. Then, when a new situation comes up, you need a new approach.

The Gravity Point^® Method for Stress Transmutation in Volume 1 works in every triggering situation, without exception. You learn it once and you can use it to alchemize any situation for life:  for every relationship, every workplace challenge, every health crisis, and every moment of overwhelm.

That's not a wellness program. That's a wellness paradigm, written by a doctoral researcher and former university professor, produced to the standard of a professional reference book written in a way you can actually use and understand.

At $65, it's one of the most durable investments in your wellbeing you'll make.

Yes, a digital edition of Gravity Point^® Anthology Volume 1 is available for those who prefer to read electronically. You can find it here.

Volume 2 is in development, and the timeline is directly connected to the impact of Volume 1. The Gravity Point^® Anthology is an independent publication, not backed by a traditional publisher or an academic institution, which means the momentum this series builds depends entirely on the community around it.

The best way to support the next volume is to share this first one. If this work resonates with you, telling others is the most meaningful thing you can do to keep it moving forward.

No, this book is not a replacement for therapy or treatment. And it's designed with that boundary clearly in mind.

Gravity Point^® Anthology Volume 1 is an educational resource. It gives you a framework for understanding your stress responses and a method for working with them in everyday life. It's not a substitute for professional mental health care, and it does not diagnose or treat any condition.

That said, many readers find it complements their existing therapeutic work significantly, and many practitioners use it alongside their practice.

None at all. One of the central purposes of this book is to translate complex research into something immediately usable. You don’t need any particular background to put this book to good use. You don't even need to understand the science to follow the Method, though you'll come away with a much clearer picture of how stress and trauma actually work in your system.

Parents, teachers, practitioners, and everyday people can pick up this book, use it themselves, and easily integrate it into their work. 

Yes, the Method in this book can be used with clients alongside appropriate professional judgment. The Gravity Point^® Method for Stress Transmutation is designed to be accessible enough for clients to use independently, and structured enough to integrate into almost any wellness practice.
