Somatic Ego State Therapy(tm) for Trauma Healing

This book integrates Ego State Therapy with body-based therapies to present a multidimensional approach to working with clients who have experienced trauma.
Drawing upon a range of important modalities, including Somatic Experiencing(R), Polyvagal theory, Hypnotherapy, and Ego state therapy, Silvia Zanotta lays out a practical view of what it means to navigate the internal and external world in the aftermath of trauma. She provides an up-to-date applications-oriented view that prepares the practitioner to move beyond a one-size fits all treatment formula to meet the complexity of human experience. This approach holds that issues such as resistance, guilt and shame, rejection, and rage should be anticipated as a part of, more than an obstacle to, PTSD treatment. Case vignettes, transcript content, and step-by-step instructions for specific interventions and activities take the content of the chapters from theory to practice.
This is a practical, experiential book that will appeal to all professionals working with trauma, including psychotherapists, counsellors, body workers, and social workers.
