In Sheriannas latest book Emotional Detox , she weaves personal trauma with detailed insight on how utilizing her own seven-step C.L.E.A.N.S.E. formula saved her life. We all tend to adjust our feelings for others instead of being our authentic selves. We have been taught reactivity instead of feeling what truly goes on within our emotions. Through her C.L.E.A.N.S.E. formula, we learn how to embrace our feelings and come to understand reactivity and why we overprocess our emotions. Emotional Detox is an excellent how-to journey to living a full, joyful life.
DEBORAH BEAUVAIS , Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network
Sherianna brings invaluable experience, training, and research into the physical and psychological manifestations of our emotions and beyond. Emotional Detox outlines a mindful practice of tuning in to your emotions, honoring them, flushing out the negativity, and bringing us back to love. After reading it, I decided to make it a required text for the Kind Yoga Teacher Training Program. I want all of my future yoga instructors to know about the C.L.E.A.N.S.E.

Dear Reader,
If you are drawn to this book, you have courage; if you have taken time to read it, you are bold. This means you instinctively know there is more to what is, has been, or may be happening inside you than is clear at first. You may be tired of digging, analyzing, or running away from your problems, or a part of you realizes if you could move past one or two obstacles, life would become more fulfilling. Deep inside you recognize that if you cleanse fear, insecurity, and doubt, you could create the life you desire and deserve. Within these pages, youll discover how an emotional detox is a systematic and mindful way to purge those undigested emotions stuck inside you. Like a physical detox, an emotional detox allows you to remove unwanted impurities that prevent you from living a full and healthy life. An emotional detox will allow you to truly feel your emotions, teach you how to take care of your feelings, and provide a road map for living a happy, fulfilled life. I designed a seven-part C.L.E.A.N.S.E. method to walk you through an emotional detox, step by step:
