Biography

Rosemary Hale (PsyD) is a clinical psychologist and life-long learner and advocate for integrative health practices. She works as a primary care behavioral consultant in Indiana, USA, where she specializes in guiding patients towards health behavior change and values-based actions to promote mental and physical wellness.

"Integrating yoga philosophy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this book brings together psychological and somatic interventions for clinicians working at the intersection of mind-body medicine. Hale invites us to consider how a functional and contextual-behavioral model that interweaves chakra theory can bear creative approaches to treatment for psychosomatic conditions that clinicians can directly apply to their practice. Hale's text offers specific interventions that the clinician/reader can't help but practice as they read!"

Kelli Bosak, LCSW, Behavioral Health Consultant, Director of Behavioral Health; Yoga Instructor (RYT-200)

"This magnificent piece of work is scrupulous with detail and foundationally sound. For anyone interested in weaving the therapeutic worlds of the East and the West, this interwoven masterpiece is for you."

Amber Howells, Holistic Health Practitioner, BHSc (OT)

"Hale beautifully overlapped the lenses of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the chakra system in a way that brings a sense of groundedness and practical insight to the chakra system in a therapy setting. The result may elevate possible outcomes of ACT by broadening the scope of assessment and treatment to include energy and somatic healing practices, especially for individuals experiencing chronic pain."
