"A collection of heartfelt, hard-won reflections on what it means to be human-and how we heal." -Helene Zupanc, LPC, coauthor of Sticky Note Mantras
Held by the Tide is a compassionate guide for anyone moving through uncertainty, grief, burnout, or the invisible weight of holding it all together. Blending personal reflection with nervous system education, this hybrid healing workbook offers a gentle return to yourself-one breath, story, and small practice at a time.
Drawing from her work as a therapist, mother to a medically complex child, and longtime student of somatic healing, Cyndi Horwitz invites readers into a space of steady reconnection.
Each chapter offers accessible tools-including breathwork, mindful movement, and journaling prompts-designed to support self-awareness, regulation, and inner trust.
More than a self-help book, Held by the Tide is a companion for the moments when you feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you are.
With a voice that's warm, vulnerable, and deeply grounded, it reminds you that you don't have to earn your rest, your softness, or your belonging.
Whether you read it cover to cover or return to it in quiet moments, this is a book to keep close-one that meets you exactly where you are, over and over again.
