The author, when she was about ten years old, had a serious accident that threatened her life. Growing up, the complications of the mental trauma led her to study clinical anxiety and post-traumatic stress, which resulted in the development of the method presented in this book. It is a method that focuses on the vagus nerve, the most complex nerve network in the body, which is involved in the digestion process and plays a crucial role in heart rate, breathing, relaxation, and, most importantly, in our interaction with the environment.

Anna Ferguson, through a holistic approach, presents the therapeutic process that restores the healthy function of the vagus nerve and includes a set of exercises and practices aimed at addressing chronic issues of anxiety, insomnia, and trauma.

With the goal of fostering a conscious connection with ourselves, the book helps us harness the inherent ability of our bodies to heal and return to a state of calm and well-being after a traumatic experience. The feeling of anxiety and disconnection is a sign of a dysregulated nervous system, which perceives even insignificant things as a threat, triggering a change in the vagus nerve and subsequently in various systems of the body. Anna Ferguson, with the Total Reset Program she presents, teaches us how to train our nervous system to stop overreacting and to respond more calmly to everyday stressors. By regulating the vagus nerve, we achieve better mental and physical health, greater resilience, improved sleep, relief from anxiety, and healing from past traumas.
