What a FANTASTIC resource (WITH PDF FILES!!!)
Format: Paperback
I normally do not write reviews on Amazon, but thought I would do so in this case. I bought the book a few months ago and have really begun to digest the amazing quality of work that has been put into this. Prior to purchase I almost did not buy since someone else noted in their review that there are no PDFs. I reached out to the author, and she was very responsive and warm to my concern and advised there is a link within the book to download the PDFs. Sure enough, the book arrived and I was able to download the digital files! I have used to book and its tools to create two therapy groups that are heavily influenced by the content. After running both groups three times, I nothing but good things to say about this resource. My clients, who initially were resistant to somatic work, have all come around to love this group. In fact, they are two of the more popular groups at my program! Individuals who have been so traumatized that their usual report of "I feel nothing" has shifted. One client has been able to turn her whole narrative of her body being the enemy (for betraying her per trauma) to "my body empowers me. Even when I don't like what it is telling me, it is protecting me and moving me through life." I am so grateful for this book and the different perspective that it provided me in my practice.
