Trauma-Sensitive Movement

The highly anticipated new release from the author of the bestselling Somatic Psychotherapy Toolbox.

Movement is a gateway to the innate wisdom of the body.

Recognize and respond to clients' nonverbal communication cues in sessionAttune to and co-regulate with clients while processing their stored traumaAccess deeper internalized themes beneath their spoken storiesWork through stuck emotions and regulate trauma activation in the bodyIntegrate the power of breath and sound with movementWork with clients across differing intersectional identities, social locations, and mobility levelsAnd more!
