Trauma and Somatic Healing offers an integrative, non-pathologizing framework for understanding human experience.
Drawing from neuroscience, trauma-informed care, somatics, metaphysics, and poetic narrative, the book invites readers to consider the self as an ecosystem—dynamic, adaptive, and relational. It speaks to clinicians, therapists, educators, and reflective seekers who long for deeper, more compassionate maps of human development and healing.
With nature-based metaphors, dimensional awareness, and emergent theory, this book guides readers into richer relationship with themselves and the world around them.
Reviews and Endorsements
This book is a sanctuary that offers embodied companionship—honoring symptoms as signals, presence as medicine, and healing as ecological emergence. It’s a vital read for those tending to complexity with care.
Lisa Danylchuk, LMFT, E-RYT, author of Yoga for Trauma Recovery
Trauma and Somatic Healing challenges our tight grip on right-wrong, health-illness binaries, offering new metaphors and skills to find our way. It is a map back to the sacred wisdom and innate capacities within.
Anne Westcott, LICSW, co-developer of SMART at The Trauma Center
This book provides what clinical training left out: an understanding of the self as a living ecosystem, complexity met with nuance. Trauma and Somatic Healing is a refreshing departure from pathologizing frameworks toward relational care.
L. Marie Damgaard, MEd, RCC, clinical educator, University of Lethbridge
