Soothing Stress & Anxiety Booklet

Hi, I'm Esma, a trauma therapist in California. I use Brainspotting, IFS, and somatic therapy to help thoughtful, capable people understand what's driving their patterns and create lasting change.

I created this booklet as a free resource, with tools for quick, in-the-moment relief and practices for soothing your mind and body over time.
