Positioning for Play: Interactive Activities to Enhance Movement and Sensory Exploration

Description

Noted clinical researcher Ruth A. Lanius and associates interweave neurobiological insights with evocative case examples and reflections from survivors, brought to life by multiple narrators. The book shines a spotlight on the brain-body disconnect that is part of the lived experience of trauma, and traces what happens in all eight sensory systems when an individual is under threat. Featuring “Bridging to Practice” sections in each chapter, the book reveals how working with sensory pathways can engage the whole brain, promote neuroplasticity, and optimize the effectiveness of standard psychotherapies. The Foreword is narrated by its author, leading expert Daniel J. Siegel.
