Details

Transform trauma treatment with nervous system science.

Moving beyond traditional talk therapy, this guide shows how understanding the autonomic nervous system transforms clinical practice. Learn to recognize sympathetic activation, dorsal shutdown, and ventral vagal states in real-time. Discover how neuroception shapes behavior and how safety cues enable healing.

Each chapter provides:

Case studies demonstrating clinical applications

Evidence-based interventions grounded in neuroscience

State-specific treatment strategies

Cultural and developmental considerations

Therapist self-care and regulation practices

From individual therapy to group work, from children to veterans, this resource equips practitioners with the knowledge to address trauma at its biological roots. Includes ready-to-use clinical tools, quick reference guides, and supervision recommendations.
