(Illustrations in black and white.) We have all had some trauma in our lives which can compromise our nervous system. Healing Trauma from the Inside Out, Practices from the East and West offers skills to help restore your system back to wholeness. The intention of the book is to help assist you in creating a deeper understanding, intimacy, and appreciation of YOU. In addition, the book includes beautiful artwork by Sarah Szabo. "Pamela Tinkham's delightful new book teaches us about the deeply healing nature of mind-body work. She is practical and poetic-and easy to read. Through Pamela's personal journey and teachings, we learn about the integration of yoga, psychotherapy, exercise, and meditation; and fascinating new ways to heal trauma. This is an exciting book. For those of us who are interested in mind-body care, Pamela Tinkham provides a clear path forward. Well done." "As the field of neuroscience advances, we find more and more about the strong interconnection between mind, brain, and body, how thoughts and chemistry weave their way into emotion and spirituality. The 'head bone' is surely connected to the 'body bone.' Pamela Tinkham knows this and thoughtfully shows us how that interconnection can take us on a pathway out of personal darkness. You will want to join her on this heartfelt and meaningful journey toward the light." "In my opinion the Art of medicine is fully expressed when East (or Eastern ways of medicine) meets West. Pamela has the same philosophy and for this I have trusted in her care of my patients."

Finally, an approach to trauma recovery that is truly different-not just repackaged behaviorism! Denice Adcock Colson introduces Etiotropic Trauma Management in a very down to earth and practical way. This innovative theory uses a five-phase structured process called Trauma Resolution Therapy to resolve trauma at the source, rather than merely managing the symptoms. This text shows how trauma affects the victim's identity and why "survival responses"-called symptoms by other theorists-are needed until the trauma is resolved. Counselors who think "etiotropically" are convinced that this totally unique concept in trauma recovery restores the individual's identity to its pre-trauma state. Stop Treating Symptoms and Start Resolving Trauma! offers hope for both victims and the caregivers trying to help them.

Born out of the excitement of a convergence of ideas and passions, this book provides a synthesis of the work of researchers, clinicians, and theoreticians who are leaders in the field of trauma, attachment, and psychotherapy. As we move into the third millennium, the field of mental health is in an exciting position to bring together diverse ideas from a range of disciplines that illuminate our understanding of human experience: neurobiology, developmental psychology, traumatology, and systems theory. The contributors emphasize the ways in which the social environment, including relationships of childhood, adulthood, and the treatment milieu change aspects of the structure of the brain and ultimately alter the mind.

This unique resource helps therapists build their skills in schema therapy (ST) by applying ST techniques to themselves and reflecting on the experience. Designed for use by individuals or groups, the book harnesses the power of self-practice/self-reflection (SP/SR), an evidence-based training strategy. Twenty modules take therapists step by step through using ST to address a professional or personal problem--from establishing safety and creating a self-conceptualization to implementing mode change work, including cognitive, experiential, and behavioral pattern-breaking interventions. In a convenient large-size format, the book is illustrated with vivid therapist examples and features numerous reproducible worksheets and forms for doing the SP/SR exercises. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.ÿ ÿ

Survivors of trauma—whether abuse, accidents, or war—can end up profoundly wounded, betrayed by their bodies that failed to get them to safety and that are a source of pain. In order to fully heal from trauma, a connection must be made with oneself, including one’s body. The trauma-sensitive yoga described in this book moves beyond traditional talk therapies that focus on the mind, by bringing the body actively into the healing process. This allows trauma survivors to cultivate a more positive relationship to their body through gentle breath, mindfulness, and movement practices. Overcoming Trauma through Yoga is a book for survivors, clinicians, and yoga instructors who are interested in mind/body healing. It introduces trauma-sensitive yoga, a modified approach to yoga developed in collaboration between yoga teachers and clinicians at the Trauma Center at Justice Resource Institute, led by yoga teacher David Emerson, along with medical doctor Bessel van der Kolk. The book begins with an in-depth description of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including a description of how trauma is held in the body and the need for body-based treatment. It offers a brief history of yoga, describes various styles of yoga commonly found in Western practice, and identifies four key themes of trauma-sensitive yoga. Chair-based exercises are described that can be incorporated into individual or group therapy, targeting specific treatment goals, and modifications are offered for mat-based yoga classes. Each exercise includes trauma-sensitive language to introduce the practice, as well as photographs to illustrate the poses. The practices have been offered to a wide range of individuals and groups, including men and women, teens, returning veterans, and others. Rounded out by valuable quotes and case stories, the book presents mindfulness, breathing, and yoga exercises that can be used by home practitioners, yoga teachers, and therapists as a way to cultivate awareness, tolerance, and an increased acceptance of the self.

Now in 24 languages. Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma... Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.
