What others are saying:
This book helps physicians recognize when trauma is the deep-rooted problem beneath many symptoms and syndromes; and Somatic Experiencing® provides an excellent tool to achieve a successful treatment. SE® is an easy, safe, and organic method that allows physicians to treat the whole person—mind, body and spirit.”

Gina’s book is one more addendum to the evidence that awareness is a major asset in healing and that unleashing patients’ inner healing powers can be the missing piece for doctors working with patients with trauma-mediated syndromes.
