“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
