THE BODY AWARENESS WORKBOOK FOR TRAUMA

The negative effects of trauma extend far beyond mental health. This book offers a mind-body spiritual approach to moving past trauma and toward post-traumatic growth.

For years, we've understood the connection between trauma and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. But somatic psychology has recently shown that our bodies hold on to trauma, and trauma can
manifest in physical symptoms, such as pain, hormone imbalance, sexual dysfunction, and addiction. The Body Awareness Workbook for Trauma presents a comprehensive mind-body approach to healing trauma that invites readers to reconnect with their body's innate capacity for healing, growth, vitality, and joy. Readers learn to move past their trauma toward post-traumatic growth, and transform the dark side of trauma into body
awareness and spiritual fulfillment.
