It provides you with information, tools, and techniques to help you avoid self-blame, feel more in control, and create empowering rituals for yourself.
Taste of Recovery is an online guided self-help programme developed by a survivor of sexual abuse. It provides people with information, resources, and techniques to help them:
You will explore grounding, breathing, sleep and mindfulness to help you improve self-care. You can dip in and out and take as long as you like working through the materials and re-visit them whenever you want to.
The mini-course has three modules, with five 20-minute lessons in each module. Each lesson is available as a video, audio file, or transcript, with a downloadable workbook for each module so you can record your thoughts as you go. You can dip in and out and take as long as you like. There is no time clock on your progress.
Taste of Recovery will help you move beyond merely coping, one day at a time. It will help you take control of your reality and become your own rescuer. I was where you are. This is what I needed.
Emily Jacob, creator of Taste of Recovery and Founder of ReConnected Life.
Response
You’ll learn about your mind and body’s responses during and after being subjected to trauma. You’ll also learn about how others might respond to you, and how to manage those conversations in a way to keep you safe.
Rescue
You’ll learn techniques and tools to enable you to effectively rescue yourself (and be your own hero). When you feel out of control, you’ll be equipped with tools that will help you regain control and liberate you from panic and anxiety.
Resilience
You’ll build strength by introducing rituals into your daily routine that will facilitate reconnection between mind and body.

I found the Taste of Recovery course a really helpful way to learn about responses to trauma and, most importantly, to feel empowered to build resilience every day… [it] made me very hopeful for the future.
Client
MindBody Foundations complements the Taste of Recovery Programme by exploring 5 Grounding Practices.
Each ten-minute lesson is available as a video, audio, or transcript, with an accompanying worksheet for each.
The Five Lessons are: Grounding, Breathing, Sleep, Mindfulness and Music.
By focusing our senses on our environment in the present moment, grounding can bring us back into the NOW
‘Good sleep hygiene’ will start to minimise panic attacks and flashbacks. This lesson guides us through finding sleep rituals that work for us.
If we can learn to control our breathing, slow it down, noticing how it feels going in and out… then we can know how to safely bring ourselves back into our bodies, just by taking a breath.
This lesson introduces mindfulness through a mindful eating exercise that will bring our mind back into our body.
Music has the power to transport us; it can lift us up and it can calm us down. This lesson explores creating our own playlists that can bring us calm and joy.
