Brian Tierney: Visionary Somatics, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Understanding trauma, neuroscience, and its application for embodied healing

• Presents a comprehensive overview of somatic psychology, from its roots in shamanic healing and early psychoanalysis to neuroscience and trauma research

• Explains practical trauma resolution protocols, including the Visionary Somatics Trauma Re-Sequencing Process, with applications for clinicians and individuals

• Teaches how to recognize and work with your body's rhythms, address defensive patterns, and support the integration of traumatic memories

Presenting a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of body-oriented healing, Brian Tierney reveals how meaning is formed through embodied experience. He locates the roots of somatic psychology in early shamanic traditions and shows its development through the work of Wilhelm Reich, neuroscience, and trauma studies.

Tierney details the limitations of current trauma discourse and outlines the challenges posed by hyper-specialization in clinical and academic settings. He explores a wide range of somatic modalities, including osteopathy and somatic experiencing, as well as dance, family constellations, myofascial release, and active imagination. You will learn how trauma is encoded in the nervous system and how somatic practices can support healing and integration.

The author provides practical protocols for trauma resolution, including the Visionary Somatics Trauma Re-Sequencing Process, which integrates contemporary neuroscience with accessible therapeutic techniques. He emphasizes the importance of imagination and collaboration in the healing process. You will learn how to recognize and work with your body's rhythms, address defensive patterns, and support the integration of traumatic memories.

Visionary Somatics provides a roadmap for practitioners and individuals seeking to understand the connections between trauma, neurobiology, and healing. Tierney's integrative approach will equip you with practical tools for fostering embodied resilience and meaningful transformation.
