Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Interventions for Trauma and Attachment

Description

This book serves as a practical guide for integrating the body’s intelligence into psychotherapy. It highlights the significance of the “somatic narrative”—gesture, posture, facial expressions, and movement—in revealing the legacy of trauma and attachment dynamics. Organized in a phase approach, it covers developing personal somatic resources, utilizing a bottom-up approach to memory, and exploring attachment impacts on emotional and cognitive patterns. Designed for therapists and clients to use together, the book includes guides for clinical practice and worksheets for personal integration, enriched with 100 illustrations. By attending to the body’s language, therapists can enhance the therapeutic journey and facilitate deeper change.
