A practical, integrated approach for therapists working with child and adult patients impacted by developmental trauma and attachment difficulties—featuring a foreword by Waking the Tiger author, Peter Levine. Kathy L. Kain and Stephen J. Terrell draw on fifty years of their combined clinical and teaching experience to provide this clear road map for understanding the complexities of early trauma and its related symptoms. Experts in the physiology of trauma, the authors present an introduction to their innovative somatic approach that has evolved to help thousands improve their lives.   Synthesizing across disciplines—Attachment, Polyvagal, Neuroscience, Child Development Theory, Trauma, and Somatics—this book provides a new lens through which to understand safety and regulation. It includes the survey used in the groundbreaking ACE Study, which discovered a clear connection between early childhood trauma and chronic health problems.   For therapists working with both adults, children, and anyone dealing with symptoms that typically arise from early childhood trauma—anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, metabolic disorders, migraine, sleep problems, and more—this book offers hope for a happier, trauma-free life.

Explains trauma using a combination of the Five Elements (from Traditional Chinese Medicine) and a touch perspective; for practitioners of a variety of modalities, including acupuncturists, somatic therapists, massage therapists, and mental health providers.Combining Eastern and Western trauma physiology, clinician-educators Alaine Duncan and Kathy Kain introduce a new map for acupuncturists, medical practitioners, mental health providers, and body-oriented clinicians to help restore balance in their patients. Using concepts from Acupuncture and Asian Medicine (AAM), alongside descriptions of the threat response from Western bio-behavioral science, they describe common physical symptoms, emotional presentations, and paths for healing for five survivor "types" detailed by the authors and correlated to the Five Elements of AAM. This ancient/modern integrative lens illuminates the diverse manifestations of traumatic stress in its survivors--chronic pain, autoimmune illness, insomnia, metabolic problems, and mental health disorders--and brings new hope to survivors of trauma and those who treat them.

Wie entsteht ein Entwicklungstrauma und wie lässt es sich behandeln?Frühkindliche Traumata haben erhebliche Folgen für die körperliche, geistige, emotionale und soziale Gesundheit der Betroffenen. Die Symptome sind komplex und ihre Ursachen sind nicht leicht zu erkennen, liegen sie doch häufig im vorsprachlichen Stadium.Eine Behandlung sollte deshalb sowohl physisch als auch psychisch ausgerichtet sein. Allen, die beruflich mit Traumata in der Kindesentwicklung zu tun haben, liefert dieses Buch theoretische Hintergrundinformationen und praktische Behandlungsansätze.Vielen Patienten hat es in ihrer Kindheit an Sicherheit und Geborgenheit gefehlt. Beides ist jedoch die Voraussetzung für die Entwicklung der Selbstregulation und die Grundfeste der Resilienz, die es zu fördern gilt.In diesem Buch behandelte Themen:- neurowissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse- Bindungstheorie und kindliche Entwicklung- Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine)- Polyvagaltheorie (Stephen Porges)- der angemessene Einsatz von Berührung in der Psychotherapie"Nichts ist so förderlich für die Resilienz wie der Körper. Man muss nicht nur verstehen, wie das Trauma im Körper gespeichert ist, sondern auch, wie sich durch Interozeption das Gleichgewicht der Betroffenen wiederherstellen lässt, sodass sie zu sich selbst finden, sich als ganz erleben und wieder das Gute im Leben erkennen können." – aus dem Vorwort von Peter Levine
