About this book
Overview
"A vital framework for understanding embodied trauma and helping clients heal--a trauma-informed guide for somatic practitioners, movement therapists, bodyworkers, and personal trainers. Guided by the principle that if trauma happens to the body, healing happens through the body, Trauma-Informed Bodywork offers an inclusive, consent-driven, and mutually empowering approach to trauma-informed healing. Authors Chelsea Haverly and Emily Young explain how trauma is stored in the body--and how this makes movement-based practices an essential tool for trauma recovery. Haverly and Young cover key concepts--like complex trauma, vicarious trauma, body-related trauma, and nervous system regulation--and explore how they present when working with clients"--Amazon website.
