Relaxation MP3's
Can't let go?
Feeling pent up?
How to be calm and centered when you can't relax:
Mind-body therapy is the mind-body connection in action! Here's why.
The stress and anxiety we feel always shows up in the body...shoulders feel tight or hunched, chest feels constricted, stomach's in a knot. Sometimes we'll get uncomfortable and unfamiliar sensations: tingling, shaking, buzzing, aching.
Many people try to talk themselves out of stressful or anxious feelings, but this left-brain "thinking" strategy has limited results in changing the way your body responds.
A more effective strategy is to work directly with the right brain to change how you physically feel (i.e. to take a body-based approach). We've learned this from mind-body therapy and now we're passing it on to you.
A mind-body therapy approach to relaxation and stress relief.
For over 20 years Julie DiJoseph has successfully used mind-body therapies and techniques to resolve trauma and stress-related symptoms. And she's put the wealth of her experience into these three CD's.
We chose to highlight these MP3's on MyShrink because Julie's approach is an excellent example of the principles of mind-body therapy in action. We're proud to offer them to you now.
Based on the work of Dr. Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), Emilie Conrad and Susan Harper (Continuum Movement) and Dr. Donald Epstein (Somato Respiratory Integration), together they provide a fundamental model for changing how your body responds to stress.
Volume 1: Grounding & Releasing
You don't need a pill for stress or anxiety!
Based on the latest insights of neuroscience, this MP3 shows you how to "get out of the way" and let your body recover, naturally and gently.
You see, our biology is programmed for fight or flight when we're under pressure. It's like a car alarm that keeps going off inside you whenever you're stressed or anxious.
But did you know that we're also programmed to chill out when the pressure is off?
Julie DiJoseph, M.A., counselor and instructor, will teach you how to turn off that alarm. Let her guide you through this interactive CD as you learn, almost effortlessly, a skill you can use anywhere, anytime.
Gently release energies that keep stress and trauma locked in the body!
Her soothing voice creates an atmosphere of safety where you learn how to identify where the stressful energy is stored, and then gently release it.
As you follow a few simple instructions you'll discover how sensations in your body can "speak" to you. Then Julie will show you how to respond in a way that releases stress now, and builds immunity for the future.

Volume 3: Boundaries & Safety
In her third cd, Julie teaches you how to recover a feeling of safety, both in your relationships and in the world. The secret is in establishing healthy boundaries so you can be relaxed and confident in any and all circumstances.
In this CD you'll learn:
How feeling safe can change everything!
The real reason you want good, healthy boundaries...
Why you use old coping behaviors to feel “contained” in your body...
How stress and trauma cause holes or “ruptures” in our boundaries...
Simple exercises to replace old coping behaviors and feel less anxious...
How to locate where your boundaries have ruptured...
How to repair those ruptures...
How to test and reinforce your new boundaries...
"The very first story created such a deep feeling of calm in me. It really defined the concept of boundaries, and actually created a sensation of safety." C.R., Reporter
The exercises and tools that Julie teaches you are based on the latest neurobiological research. You see, boundary 'holes' or 'ruptures' make us overly-susceptible to people's thoughts and actions. So if your self-image is weak because of trauma, anxiety or stress, it means your 'boundaries' need some repair.
When you reduce your “fight / flight / freeze” energies you will:
Be able to stand up for yourself.
Be less reactive with others.
Feel strong and centered.
Be emotionally resilient in all circumstances.
Feel calmer, more relaxed, less stressed.
Know when you should be cautious, when bold.
Have healthier, safer, more loving relationships.
Feel more like the person you really want to be.
Worry less, and have more fun!
“This CD had the flexibility to fit me wherever I was, each time I listened to it. I’m now more aware of boundary ruptures before getting into a situation where they might occur. And if they do, I know I can fix them.

“For someone who has no experience with psychotherapy or counseling, this CD helped me a lot. It gave me a clear understanding of the harmful boundaries I’ve built and ways I’ve used to contain my body, mind and emotions. Now I can rebuild healthier boundaries that help focus my energy, so I can be calmer and less anxious.” H.L., Bookseller
