Summary

A practical, integrated approach for therapists working with people (both adults and children) who have been impacted by developmental trauma and attachment difficulties

Kathy L. Kain and Stephen J. Terrell draw on 50 years of their combined clinical and teaching experience to provide this clear road map for understanding the complexities of early trauma and its related symptoms. Experts in the physiology of trauma, the authors present an introduction to their innovative somatic approach that has evolved to help thousands improve their lives. Synthesizing across disciplines - Attachment, Polyvagal, Neuroscience, Child Development Theory, Trauma, and Somatics - this book provides a new lens through which to understand safety and regulation. It includes the survey used in the groundbreaking ACE Study, which discovered a clear connection between early childhood trauma and chronic health problems. 

For therapists working with both adults and children and anyone dealing with symptoms that typically arise from early childhood trauma - anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, metabolic disorders, migraine, sleep problems, and more - this book offers fresh hope.

Critic reviews

Nurturing Resilience offers a new map for navigating the process of healing from developmental trauma and skillfully incorporates the often-overlooked role of touch in repairing and restoring relational well-being. Written in clear, accessible prose and drawing on research across multiple disciplines, this book is a remarkable achievement by two seasoned and respected somatic practitioner educators.” (Rae Johnson, PhD, RSMT, chair of the somatic studies specialization in the depth psychology doctoral program at Pacifica Graduate Institute and author of Embodied Social Justice)

“Brilliant! Kathy and Stephen have produced a groundbreaking work that provides a deeper understanding of the interface between developmental trauma and mental and physical disorders and most importantly the pathways to their healing.” (Michael Ocana, MD, medical director of Kelowna Adolescent Psychiatric Unit and clinical assistant professor at the University of British Columbia) 

“This book synthesizes the simplicity of our human quest for safety and connection with the complexities of our biological design. As vanguards in somatic therapies, Kathy and Stephen have trained thousands of therapists all over the world and are now graciously imparting their strategies for resilience through this gift of their combined wisdom.” (Christopher Walling, PsyD, president of the United States Association of Body Psychotherapy)

Decent but could be better

I am a clinical psychologist who read this book for professional development purposes.

The book does a good job of integrating a range of known psychological concepts (e.g., locus of control, transference) and applying them to developmental trauma in a fairly integrative way. The book also does a good job of introducing the reader to polyvagal theory.

What I was left a little disappointed by the practical use of this book. Yes it is full of theoretical content, but the practical guidance about applying this knowledge is left at a very vague level. This is somewhat helpful for informing broad level therapy, but it would have been much more useful to have included more hands on exercises and practice suggestions. It became frustrating when the author kept saying words to the effect of “there are many ways to achieve x” but was very light in detail when it came to covering these things.

So overall, worth a read for the theory, but when it comes to practical application, it is a fairly light touch.

The narration quality is not the best. It sounds robotic. This seems more to do with the recording quality rather than the skill of the narrator.

Really interesting

The only reason I haven't given this 5 stars (the content is really interesting and simply explained) is because the voice feels a little computer generated and it never felt like a comfortable listen.

For therapeutic clinicians.

Hugely in depth synopsis around therapies that are designed to ameliorate the ruptures and injuries received in the childhood developmental period, including childhood emotional neglect, and how to help clients somatosensory their felt experiences that are triggered through transference today.

Missing Link

Brilliant book. I really appreciate the immense dedication and investment the authors have given to this body of work, both in practice and in creating this book.
Having experienced many healing modalities, I feel this is the missing link
Would recommend

Fantastic if you want to know why you have trauma

It is not a book that offers practical strategies and techniques. Great if you want to understand the problem
