Gravity Point® Anthology Volume 1

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 resolve it.

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 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 Resolution 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

Then you’ll learn the Gravity Point® Method for Stress Resolution, a step-by-step process you can use to resolve 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 and educator. She designed it so you can use it in every Triggering Situation you encounter in any area of your life.
