Trauma has been part of human history since the beginning of time. Many approaches have been used to understand and work with traumatized clients, but it is only recently that the importance of the body in this work has begun to be acknowledged. The Biosynthetic Psychotherapy is a somatic approach that sees trauma from an embryological perspective and uses this basis to work on all dimensions of the individual, whether physical, psychological, emotional or spiritual, in order to recover the contact with the Essence. 

In this book we try to integrate the most recent finds and standpoints on trauma through a bodily outlook. We enriched it with case studies and practical exercises. 

The focus of the Biosynthetic Psychotherapy is not on the devastating aspects of trauma, but rather on restoring the harmony and integrity of the Self for a safe journey towards healing. 

The body knows the way, it just needs to be reminded of it!
