Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma: Lifting the Burdens of the Past

by Sharon Stanley

Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma provides psychotherapists and other helping professionals with a new body-based clinical model for the treatment of trauma. This model synthesizes emerging neurobiological and attachment research with somatic, embodied healing practices. Tested with hundreds of practitioners in courses for more than a decade, the principles and practices presented here empower helping professionals to effectively treat people with trauma while experiencing a sense of mutuality and personal growth themselves.

Really informative and beautiful. Beginning was a bit technical and hard to follow. Middle was great, and then it felt like a lot of repetition. I feel like it could have been honed down and better organized. However, very informative about somatic therapy and how repressed traumatized parts of self heal in ventral vagal states of resonance with another.
