Description
Understanding the impact of trauma on the body is crucial for both clinicians and their clients. This book sheds light on the psychophysiology of trauma, revealing how traumatic events can be stored in the brain and body. The body's response to trauma is often expressed through symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, such as nightmares, flashbacks, and dissociative behaviors.
By exploring the psychobiology of the stress response, clinicians can gain a deeper understanding of their clients' symptoms and develop a more holistic approach to treatment. The book presents principles and non-touch techniques for working with the body, making trauma therapy safer and increasing mind-body integration. Engaging case studies are included to illustrate the practical applications of this approach.
