Do they find it hard to balance or feel uneasy when their feet leave the ground? Early trauma and neglect can have a profound effect upon a child's development. Sensory integration theory offers a way of understanding how the brain processes and stores movement experience, and how these experiences manifest at a physical and emotional level. This book explains how early movement experiences affect brain development and gives examples of how trauma can prevent basic sensory processing pathways from being correctly established. It shows how you can identify gaps in normal sensory development and offers ideas for how you can use physical activities to help build up the underdeveloped systems. Good bodily awareness forms the foundation of motor development as well as social and emotional skills and learning. This book will help your child to be more in tune with themselves and their bodies and feel more comfortable in their environment. Highly accessible with lots of practical tips and examples, this book is written for adoptive and foster parents, and will also be useful for social workers, fostering and adoption workers and those working in primary and early years educational settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for those working to heal developmental trauma and seeking new tools for self-awareness and growth, this book focuses on conflicts surrounding the capacity for connection. Explaining that an impaired capacity for connection to self and to others and the ensuing diminished aliveness are the hidden dimensions that underlie most psychological and many physiological problems, clinicians Laurence Heller and Aline LaPierre introduce the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM), a unified approach to developmental, attachment, and shock trauma that, while not ignoring a person’s past, emphasizes working in the present moment. NARM is a somatically based psychotherapy that helps bring into awareness the parts of self that are disorganized and dysfunctional without making the regressed, dysfunctional elements the primary theme of the therapy. It emphasizes a person’s strengths, capacities, resources, and resiliency and is a powerful tool for working with both nervous system regulation and distortions of identity such as low self-esteem, shame, and chronic self-judgment.

Book excerpt: Trauma and Play Therapy synthesizes new developments in the study of children’s trauma recovery to assist clinicians in combining play therapy with other powerful ways of addressing the needs of hurt children. The TraumaPlayTM model, formerly known as Flexibly Sequential Play Therapy, equips practitioners to manage and adapt aspects of the play therapy place and process in order to help children tell their stories while draining the emotional toxicity from traumatic experiences. Chapters explore the neurobiological and developmental foundations of play therapy as well as strategies for navigating children’s trauma in relation to specific aspects of play therapy such as sensory integration, metaphor, and humor. Enriched by a tapestry of illustrative case examples and tools for therapists, this is a vital new book for clinicians working at the intersection of play and children’s trauma.

This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **As featured in Publishers Weekly with A+ rating** "Clinical professionals will appreciate the boots-on-the-ground analysis of treatment options, while more casual readers will welcome the empowering messages, like the recommendations to "let go of the belief that perfection equals happiness" and to open up to significant others about their roles in the healing process. The overarching insight that trauma recovery must be individualized, with no set timetable for healing, pairs nicely with Demarco's goal to help readers "reclaim control" over their thoughts. The end result is as informative as well as inspiring." Book Description: Why are symptoms of panic attacks, anxieties, PTSD, and depression so tightly bound to trauma? Why does the traumatic memory feel so real, like it just happened? How do you regain control of your life and release the pain to feel symptom-free? Are you tired of being a slave to your emotions and triggered? Within this book, you will discover hope in regaining control of your emotions so that memories only serve as reflections of the past and no longer cause you pain. Discover how to ease yourself out of depression and release anxieties by rewiring your high-alert trauma brain. Brain chemistry changes from high cortisol levels, and science shows are directly connected to symptoms. By rewiring your brain, you bring yourself out from being associated with the memory and into the present moment, the now. You will be able to take your view out from the rear-view mirror behind you and onto the road ahead. You deserve better. Julian is a survivor of child sexual abuse and adult domestic violence and was diagnosed with complex PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Living in fear and a slave to her symptoms robbed her of being truly happy. She found NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) therapy that dramatically changed her outlook on life. This type of therapy assisted in releasing the painful memories by changing the emotional aspects of the memories from associated (feeling as if just happened) to dissociated (like watching a movie). By cognitive restructuring and changing the scene it changed the feeling response to the memory. It overcame her 40 plus years of trauma symptoms, and having a deep desire to assist others led to becoming a certified NLP Practitioner. No one should have to suffer when there’s hope. Not all people will respond to the techniques shared in this book, just as not all types of therapies are 100% effective. Understanding Childhood Trauma & How To Let Go is written from a survivor’s view of some of life’s cruelties as well as a practitioner on how to let go and find your joy again. Being a survivor also means Julian truly understands how hopeless you may feel because she has lived it. Most clinicians can’t wholly understand the tribulation from symptoms that overshadows life and only see it from a sterile clinical perspective. Julian conveys compassion with empathy for what you’ve endured in your life. You’re a survivor. Narrowed down are 11 techniques written in detail that, based on studies, were found to be most successful. This introduction to NLP is written in an easy-to-understand language and mindful not to trigger the reader with details of her traumas. This is the must-have book to ease you through your painful past and to assist you in becoming truly free. You deserve to be happy and take back control of your life.

Book excerpt: Childhood traumas range widely in their severity and impact. A car accident, an earthquake or flood, being attacked by a dog, undergoing a frightening medical treatment?all are distinctly different events yet all provoke common symptoms of psychological trauma. These symptoms may include fearfulness, nightmares, and dramatic behavioral or personality changes. And parental anxiety over changes in a child can, in turn, complicate the healing process. Children and Trauma teaches parents and professionals about the effects of such ordeals on children and offers a blueprint for restoring a child's sense of safety and balance. Cynthia Monahon, a child psychologist who specializes in the treatment of psychological trauma, offers hope and reassurance for parents. She suggests straightforward ways to help kids through tough times, and also describes in detail the warning signs that indicate a child needs professional help. Monahon helps adults understand psychological trauma from a child's point of view and explores the ways both parents and professionals can help children heal.

Book excerpt: An innovative somatic and attachment-based treatment for working with children and adolescents who suffer from complex trauma and neglect "[This] is a ground-breaking new approach to treating traumatized children, based on the combination of keen clinical observation, sensory integration, and a deep understanding of the latest advances in the neuroscience of trauma."—Bessel van der Kolk, MD, best-selling author of The Body Keeps the Score The SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment) program addresses three key processes that can be derailed by developmental trauma--somatic regulation, trauma processing, and attachment-building--and uses movement and sensation to target the neurological structures that support emotional and behavioral regulation. Transforming Trauma in Children and Adolescents teaches therapists the eight key skills required for SMART mastery and provides seven regulation tools for clients, helping children and adolescents manage their feelings and attend to developmental tasks like making friends, participating at school, learning to play with others, and developing a sense of self that includes--but isn't defined by--the trauma they've experienced. Enriched with case studies and recommended adaptations, the book includes resources for parents and other caregivers who want to provide ongoing supportive care outside the clinical setting.
