Great guide for professionals or individuals. Can be used by yourself or with your therapist as a guide. Somatic Therapy is such an amazing resource to help with your Trauma, anxiety, panic attacks and depression. I am utilizing somatic therapy before I begin my EMDR.

This book is laid out well. I like the gradual steps towards integrating Somatic work. Therapist first, know it, experience it, settle yourself first. Just what I was looking for.

The book is well organized. The chapters offer useable, reasonable, and creative approaches to the topic to help people. I loved the breathing approaches for example. Thanks for writing this book.

I own a holsitc healing practice and am training in Somatic practice for trauma. I'm finding the material in this book to be most helpful for both my professional and my client use. For those that are leaving reviews about the pdf's; THEY ARE available ! You simply have to go to the very back at the bibliography section, you will find it there.

A must read for all therapists, support workers, carers, self aware humans and non self aware humans

This book is an incredible tool to add to the way I practice. I intuitively already used a lot of skills in this book and never realized what I was doing. I've always had this innate understanding that the body plays such an important role in healing. No wonder people gain a ton of weight after sexual trauma, or why we feel so good after exercise, yoga, dance etc. I was trained in a somatic and attachment focused protocol for EMDR and have been so intrigued to learn more about somatic exercises to incorporate with my clients. I'm so excited to start using this material! This has been on my wishlist for a long time, go ahead and buy it! You won't regret it.

I am a somatic healing therapist and the meditations and techniques in this book guide many of my sessions with clients experiencing trauma and anxiety, or simply want to learn more about mindfulness during stressful times in their lives. I wish there was a second installment, I'd buy it today! Lots of great, practical worksheets and meditations.

The Somatic Psychotherapy toolbox is literally that! It is an extremely helpful toolbox to help yourself. As an SEP practitioner myself, I was pleasantly surprised with how useful this book is. Highly recommend it. Thanks to this author for putting it together.

I am currently a practicum student and I have known for some time that I wanted to incorporate somatic practices in my counseling orientation. This book takes that knowledge and research and gives you a practical application. It not only has multiple tools to help clients, it has several techniques and strategies to manage your own body experience as the counselor. It includes examples of language to use. I could not have asked for a better introduction and resource for somatic counseling. Worth every penny, highly recommend.
