"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. In recent years,...

They've learned that somatic approaches can help trauma survivors to befriend their body, which they so often have come to see as the enemy. In this three-part series, researchers and clinicians share their perspectives...

So all these problems come out in every other relationship in their life."́ Alexandra Cook, PhD. A secure attachment system forms the foundation for a child's development.

"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...

"A successful trauma therapy is about more than just not having symptoms. It's really about having a life, a life that's about pursuing dreams, pursuing happiness. But especially it's about the right to have a present and a future that are not completely dominated and dictated by the past." Karen Saakvitne. Given the controversy that has surrounded the field of trauma therapy in recent years, it's important to be reminded of how valuable the work...

"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....
