Description
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.
Hay alguna información útil pero estoy a la mitad del libro y solo ahora se da alguna información práctica. Esperaba que fuera más práctica. Pero voy a sacar algunos consejos, por lo menos.
This book is amazing! My thirst to know more about how the body stores trauma coupled with my love of the five elements makes this my go to resource
I’ve always admired the spiritual and poetic nature of the Chinese/Taoist approach to the healing arts. This is an excellent companion to the older text “Between Heaven and Earth” by Korngold and Beinfeld.
This is an excellent book for practitioners of any style of medicine. Well researched and put together in an easy to read fashion. The authors personal additions to the content, in my opinion, are the key to make this a five star book on the subject of trauma.
Great book on trauma and how deal with it from a wholistic way!
