How to Take Care | Free Book
Healing is not just for people who have their s&*t together. Healing is, most important, for people who are falling apart. How to Take Care will help you learn to trust your instincts, listen to your body, and practice small, easy steps to soothe anxiety, burnout, and symptoms of PTSD.
From A (adaptogenic herbs, ancestral healing) to Z (zoetic), How to Take Care is for anyone striving to live slowly, with self-compassion, one moment at a time. Learn tangible steps to dispel shame, tell the truth, and loosen the grip on whatever is holding you back. Sample guided meditations, cook nurturing recipes, and follow handy how-tos. Practice the grounding of a clean sink when you’d rather burn the house down, or connect with nature by growing flowers from seed. Keep this guide on your nightstand or in your backpack for easy-reference tools, techniques, and strategies to calm your nervous system and come back to your body. It is a gift for yourself or anyone else who is going through a big, messy, or trying season of life.
In The Press
“A healing book for the world weary and traumatized, the over-burdened
& under-mothered. This elegantly illustrated and inspired
collaboration has a cure on every page. Hilarious and brave, tender
and wise. Buy this book for yourself, and anybody else who needs a
dang break.”—Mary Karr, New York Times bestselling
author of The Liars’ Club, Cherry, Lit,
and Art of Memoir
"Entering the world of this
book—and it truly feels like a world, lushly illustrated,
radiating tenderness and honesty—feels like sitting by a window and
talking with a bighearted friend who also happens to be funny as f-ck,
and eating hot fudge sundaes while a rainstorm rages outside. The sky
is dark, and the flood might be coming, but the air is bristling with
candor and compassion, just like these pages, which are full of
hard-won insights attuned to the body, alive to the soul, and always
aware of their entwinement. Something in this book will crack open a
window in your life, I promise you—to let in the smell of the rain,
the cold moonlight, the snow under streetlamps, the dawn."—Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams
"With warmth and
compassion, Williams and Novotny have created a reassuring, loving,
and essential guide to taking care. If, like me, you are sure you were
absent the day they handed out the life manuals, it’s here now. You
will love this book, but even better, this book will love you
back."—Elizabeth Crane, author of This Story Will Change
"How to Take Care has the feeling of cracking open
a wise auntie's grimoire in that it is both referential and
ancestral—a collection of hard-earned knowings, lovingly compiled. My
heart beams thinking of this timeless book being passed down from hand
to hand, kitchen to kitchen, generation to generation."—Brittany Carmona-Holt, birthworker, educator, and author of
Tarot for Pregnancy: A Companion for Radical Magical Birthing
Folks
"How to Take Care feels like a comfortable cup of
tea with your wise but hilarious friends. These warm, bite-size
offerings of healing make doable that ever illusive idea of self-care.
They deftly weave personal experience, clinical expertise, and
curiosity, providing us with hopeful resources to honor the past and
move confidently into our futures."—Rebecca Feldman, midwife,
psychiatric nurse practitioner and psychotherapist
