The highly anticipated new release from the author of the bestselling Somatic Psychotherapy Toolbox.

Movement is a gateway to the innate wisdom of the body.

Our bodies hold our trauma, but they also hold the key to healing from it. By working with clients to tap into the body's first language--movement--you can help them access what is held in the body so they can move with and beyond their trauma stories.

Written for therapists who want to skillfully and mindfully bring movement into their practice, Trauma-Sensitive Movement is a clinical guide featuring 96 somatic interventions--including exercises, tools, scripts, and journaling prompts--to help you:

• Recognize and respond to clients' nonverbal communication cues in session
• Attune to and co-regulate with clients while processing their stored trauma
• Access deeper internalized themes beneath their spoken stories
• Work through stuck emotions and regulate trauma activation in the body
• Integrate the power of breath and sound with movement
• Work with clients across differing intersectional identities, social locations, and mobility levels
• And more!

Whether you're an experienced clinician seeking to deepen your somatic toolkit or are curious about how to bring movement into your practice, let Trauma-Sensitive Movement be your guide to facilitating deeper healing and transformation.
