A book for clinicians and clients to use together that explains key concepts of body psychotherapy. The body’s intelligence is largely an untapped resource in psychotherapy, yet the story told by the “somatic narrative”-- gesture, posture, prosody, facial expressions, eye gaze, and movement -- is arguably more significant than the story told by the words. The language of the body communicates implicit meanings and reveals the legacy of trauma and of early or forgotten dynamics with attachment figures. To omit the body as a target of therapeutic action is an unfortunate oversight that deprives clients of a vital avenue of self-knowledge and change. 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. Each chapter is accompanied by a guide to help therapists apply the chapter’s teachings in clinical practice and by worksheets to help clients integrate the material on a personal level. The concepts, interventions, and worksheets 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. 100 illustrations

Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation

Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors integrates a neurobiologically informed understanding of trauma, dissociation, and attachment with a practical approach to treatment, all communicated in straightforward language accessible to both client and therapist. Readers will be exposed to a model that emphasizes "resolution"―a transformation in the relationship to one’s self, replacing shame, self-loathing, and assumptions of guilt with compassionate acceptance. Its unique interventions have been adapted from a number of cutting-edge therapeutic approaches, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based therapies, and clinical hypnosis. Readers will close the pages of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors with a solid grasp of therapeutic approaches to traumatic attachment, working with undiagnosed dissociative symptoms and disorders, integrating "right brain-to-right brain" treatment methods, and much more. Most of all, they will come away with tools for helping clients create an internal sense of safety and compassionate connection to even their most dis-owned selves.

Product Description 
Traumatic experiences leave a “living legacy” of effects that often persist for years and decades after the events are over. Historically, it has always been assumed that re-telling the story of what happened would resolve these effects.\nHowever, survivors report a different experience: Telling and re-telling the story of what happened to them often reactivates their trauma responses, overwhelming them rather than resolving the trauma. To transform traumatic experiences, survivors need to understand their symptoms and reactions as normal responses to abnormal events. They need ways to work with the symptoms that intrude on their daily activities, preventing a life beyond trauma.\nDr. Janina Fisher, international expert on trauma, has spent over 40 years working with survivors, helping them to navigate their journey. In 
Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma, she shows how the legacy of symptoms helped them survive and offers:\nStep-by-step strategies that can be used on their own or in collaboration with a therapist 
Simple diagrams that make sense of the confusing feelings and physical reactions survivors experience 
Worksheets to practice the skills that bring relief and ultimately rejuvenation\nReview 
Written with her characteristic hopefulness and clarity, this workbook showcases Janina Fisher s unique gift of getting to the essence of things. Complex theories are transformed into simple, easily understood, useful concepts that teach clients to make sense of their symptoms, to befriend their coping strategies, and to practice effective skills to relieve their suffering. Most importantly, this book will inspire the confidence to realize that healing is possible for even the most traumatized survivor.

La transformación del legado vivo del trauma: Libro de trabajo para supervivientes y terapeutas

EDITORIAL ELEFTHERIA SL

Lectura obligada para los psicoanalistas interesados en la comunicación no verbal, la disociación y el trauma. Este sofisticado libro proporciona una integración extraordinaria de la teoría y la práctica clínica, basada en la investigación sobre el trauma, el apego, la infancia y la neurobiología. Beatrice Beebe, Columbia University. La inteligencia del cuerpo es, en gran medida, un recurso desaprovechado en psicoterapia; ahora bien, la historia contada por la narrativa somática, los gestos, la postura, la prosodia, las expresiones faciales, la mirada y el movimiento es, sin duda, más significativa que la historia contada por las palabras. El lenguaje del cuerpo transmite significados implícitos, y revela el legado del trauma y de las dinámicas tempranas u olvidadas con las figuras de apego. Ignorar el cuerpo como objeto de la acción terapéutica es una omisión desafortunada que priva a los pacientes de una vía de acceso vital al autoconocimiento y al cambio. Este libro, escrito para que los terapeutas y los pacientes lo exploren de manera conjunta durante la terapia, es una guía práctica del lenguaje del cuerpo. Comienza con una sección que orienta a terapeutas y pacientes en el volumen y en su manejo, seguido de un resumen del papel del cerebro y de la utilización de la conciencia plena. Las tres últimas secciones se organizan de acuerdo con un enfoque por fases en la terapia y se centran, en primer lugar, en el desarrollo de recursos personales, en especial de los recursos somáticos; en segundo lugar, en la utilización de un enfoque somático ascendente de la memoria; y, en tercer lugar, en la exploración del impacto del apego en el aprendizaje procedimental, en las tendencias emocionales y en las distorsiones cognitivas. Cada uno de los capítulos está acompañado por una guía que pretende ayudar a los terapeutas a aplicar sus enseñanzas en la práctica clínica, y por hojas de trabajo, que contribuyen a que los pacientes integren el material a nivel personal.
