From the book ...
"Rhythm is one of the most important components of our survival and well-being. It governs the patterns of our sleep and respiration and is profoundly tied to our relationships with friends and family. But what happens when these rhythms are disrupted by traumatic events?
Can balance be restored, and if so, how? What insights do eastern, natural, and modern western healing traditions have to offer, and how can practitioners put these lessons to use?
Is it possible to do this in a ways that's culturally sensitive, multidisciplinary, and grounded in research?
Clients walk through the door with chronic physical and mental health problems as a result of traumatic events -- how can clinicians make a quick and skillful connection with their clients' needs and offer integrative mind/body methods they can rely upon?"
Dr. Korn illustrates the importance of touch and rhythm through a demonstration of Auricular (ear) touch an explanation of rocking! Both great strategies for self-soothing to try out yourself.
