Description
Over the past several years, many therapists have found that working with clients to identify where and how they hold trauma in their body and helping them to release it can be far more effective than traditional talk therapy alone.

In this three-part series, researchers and clinicians share their perspectives...

"One of the things that is so delightful about a session like this is that it can be done in the context of traditional talking psychotherapy ... to bring in body-centered techniques without disturbing a patient who has been used to talking therapy, or disappointing the patient's hopes that we would talk about it, while at the same time reorganizing the story of what happened to become a story of what's possible" Janina Fisher, PhD.

"While the therapeutic relationship is very important, and an important substrate to the patient doing his or her work, in some ways we may have to be more like plumbers than like priests. And the task of the plumber is to unplug the toilet, not to have a warm relationship with the person whose toilet is plugged. And so maybe the task of the therapist is to provide the patient the skills that allow them to manage their lives." Bessel van der Kolk....

"The literature says that 30% to 40% of the patients who engage in eating disorder behaviors are, in fact, survivors of sexual trauma, and I believe another whole cohort of those folks have experienced other kinds of trauma. If you think about it, being 90 pounds or being 300 pounds is a very visible, tangible way to say, 'I'm in pain.'" Lisa Ferentz. Until recently, the focus of eating disorder treatment has been on getting the sometimes life-threatening...
