A book for clinicians and clients to use together that explains key concepts of body psychotherapy.

Written for therapists and clients to explore together in therapy, this book is a practical guide to the language of the body. It begins with a section that orients therapists and clients to the volume and how to use it, followed by an overview of the role of the brain and the use of mindfulness. The last three sections are organized according to a phase approach to therapy, focusing first on developing personal resources, particularly somatic ones; second on utilizing a bottom-up, somatic approach to memory; and third on exploring the impact of attachment on procedural learning, emotional biases, and cognitive distortions.

The concepts and interventions introduced in this book are designed as an adjunct to, and in support of, other methods of treatment rather than as a stand-alone treatment or manualized approach. By drawing on the therapeutic relationship and adjusting interventions to the particular needs of each client, thoughtful attention to what is being spoken beneath the words through the body can heighten the intimacy of the therapist/client journey and help change take place more easily in the hidden recesses of the self.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A work of pure genius. Easy to read, accessible to all. A true legacy and I appreciate the effort put into writing and preparing this volume of work. Includes how to use the activities with dissociative clients.

I bought both the Kindle version and hardcover book. The worksheets in the book have better formatting and make more sense than the Kindle version.

Fantastic book with respect to working with clients who have experienced trauma.

Reviewed in Canada on 19 November 2020

More on trauma from one of the greats in the field. This is a text-book, so best for people who are practicing in some way. It's written for clinicians and clients to work through together but clinicians can also pick exercises to use with clients in sessions without clients using the book themselves. The exercises provided are extremely valuable, and may be applicable to interventions from a variety of modalities (including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, interpersonal process approach, etc) in addition to sensorimotor psychotherapy.

Amazing description and understanding of dissociative processes. Her non-pathologizing stance towards the "parts" of self promotes a sense of safety and acceptance for all of the client's experiences. The explanations of how to adapt the content when working with clients who dissociate is highly appreciated. I recommend this book and will be reading further into this area.

Like being able to sit down with a trauma expert any hour of the day!

This book is an amazing resource. It feels like being able to sit down with a trauma expert any hour of the day and learn something really valuable. As a trauma survivor I have already gained huge insight and shifted on a major issue I've been stuck on forever in just the few days I've been working with this book, and learnt so much about my reactions.

It's written in a very easy to read style, given the dense material it covers; and the worksheets make it so real, really helping you to internalise the learnings and discover so much about yourself. While it is written with the intention of exploring with the help of a therapist, it is so clear it is of real use to trauma survivors who don't currently have a therapist to guide them through the process: while as the authors say a book cannot replace a therapeutic relationship, this book covers so much education and things to help you realise why you react the way you do, that it goes a long way to helping even without a therapist to support the process. It's like a map and a guidebook that gives you a sense of the way ahead and how to navigate it. As a trauma survivor currently not working with a therapist, this resource is invaluable to me; and I can see it would be a valuable resource for anyone wondering if they are getting what they need to out of working with their current therapist too.

If you, as either therapist or client, are skeptical about the need to include the somatic in therapy, this book is likely to convince you. I've heard too many trauma survivors say that talking about what happened is the real therapy and the somatic interventions are just like band-aids: this book is likely to help you to see that as trauma and attachment issues reside in the more primitive parts of our brain, whose language is rooted far more in the somatic than verbal, working with the body in this way is essential for real healing. There are so many trauma survivors who are in talk therapy and are just as destabilised years into therapy as when they began, and this book contains the skills they need to learn to be able to move forward with their healing and be more functional with the challenges of daily life.

An incredible amount of work must have gone into creating this, it is so educational and the worksheets are so well laid out. I hope this becomes a text for every trainee therapist to read (and every experienced one too!) I recommend getting the print version unless you have a big screen on your computer to be able to view the worksheets (it is really set up for printed rather than reading on a kindle, the worksheets are pretty much impossible to read on my kindle screen).

Huge thanks to the authors for the incredible amount of work that must have gone into creating such a phenomenal resource; and for your really generous sharing of your knowledge and processes.

Update: I thought I'd post an update after working with the book for a while. I'm really starting to understand my reactions so much better as a result of working with this book. I am in recovery from DID and find the sections on adapting the material for highly dissociative clients invaluable. I think I've come to understand the DID better from this book than the vast amount of books I've read specifically on DID. I wish everyone who is highly dissociative could work with this material, it can make such a difference.

This book is one of the better introductions I've read, about your relationship with your body and your relationship with your brain- how these three interact and can be exercised to improve mental health. I used to complain that the human brain doesn't come with an instruction manual. Well, these days you CAN get instruction manuals for your brain, and this is one of the better ones!
