Trauma and the Body: A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy Free Audiobook Download by Clare Pain,Kekuni Minton,Pat Ogden
In this book, Pat Ogden and Clare Pain take the reader on a journey into the world of pain, trauma and healing. They do not attempt to define or explain what trauma is. Instead, they use their experience of working with clients who have suffered from trauma as their guide and provide a variety of perspectives on what it means to be in touch with one's body.
[The] book is an exploration of the similarities and differences between trauma, embracing change, and experiencing life. It argues that in order to make sense of the experience, we need to pay attention not only to what happened but also to the ways that our mind and body experience it. The book is organized into three parts: the body and trauma, change and embracing difficult emotions, and relational contexts for transformation.
This publication is written to show that trauma, as it manifests in the body, is not only a mental phenomenon. It fundamentally alters somatosensation and motor control. This book asks for an integration of psychotherapy approaches to help people with trauma who are stuck and unable to move forward.
Psychotherapy is a form of treatment with a broad range of different techniques that are designed to help people understand themselves and address the causes of many mental health issues. This book by Clare Pain features a sensorimotor approach, which is used in psychotherapy to provide patients with movement opportunities, self-awareness, and mindfulness. Poring through the history of trauma and its effects on the body, this book will help therapists better understand their patients' experiences.
This audiobook is a compelling, personal account of a psychotherapist who turns her attention to using our body's physical sensations as an entry point into psychotherapy. Kekuni Minton has been working as a therapist for over 30 years, but began to integrate sensorimotor therapies into her work after encountering individuals who had endured significant trauma. The book delves deeply into both the science and the practice of using our bodies in therapy - drawing from experience to chart a course between embodied cognition and somatic psychotherapy. It considers how psychological processes are shaped by materiality, with the precept that humans cannot escape their bodies without also escaping their selves.
