This popular, practical resource for clinicians caring for trauma
survivors has been fully updated and expanded. It remains
a key toolkit of cognitive behavioral somatic therapy (CBST)
techniques for clinicians who want to enhance their skills in
treating trauma. Baranowsky and Gentry help practitioners
find the right tools to guide trauma survivors toward growth
and healing. Reinforcing this powerful intervention is the addition
of a deeper emphasis on the preparatory phase for therapists,
including the therapists’ own ability to self-regulate
their autonomic system during client encounters.
