A Somatic Approach to Moving Beyond Trauma When trauma occurs, the logical mind gets hijacked. Physiology takes over to protect it, but in doing so, it leaves an imprint. Because the body wants to ensure nothing like that is going to happen again, any reminder or trigger can instigate automatic physical responses. These damaging responses can affect all aspects of a person's life, and in some cases, create an emotional paralysis. The Mind-Body interventions, case studies, cognitive-behavioral exercises, and case studies are combined in a straightforward manner that makes it easier to begin the process of looking at unresolved trauma and taking the necessary steps to begin the healing process. Both somatic exercises and mind-body interventions are presented in ways that are easy to understand and simple enough to integrate into a recovery process.
