This expansive, humanitarian book is the harvest of Amber Gray’s three decades of experience as a somatic and dance/movement psychotherapist working with survivors of oppression, war and other severe traumas. From this challenging work and her clients’ stories of resilience, Dr. Gray has sourced innovative pathways to healing, utilising the emergent wisdom of Dr. Stephen Porges’s polyvagal theory as a guidepost for somatic and movement–based psychotherapy with survivors of trauma. Here readers will find a range of somatic and movement–based practices and processes that any clinician can incorporate into their therapeutic work. Illustrative case examples highlight how somatic interventions can be applied in the broader context of a restorative approach to survivor–centred psychotherapy. Polyvagal–Informed Restorative Movement Psychotherapy weaves many streams of wisdom at the crossroads of science, Spirit and eco–somatics. What emerges is a path to profound healing that is accessible to any clinician and any client.
