About this listen

A practical, integrated approach for therapists working with people (both adults and children) who have been impacted by developmental trauma and attachment difficulties

Kathy L. Kain and Stephen J. Terrell draw on 50 years of their combined clinical and teaching experience to provide this clear road map for understanding the complexities of early trauma and its related symptoms. Experts in the physiology of trauma, the authors present an introduction to their innovative somatic approach that has evolved to help thousands improve their lives. Synthesizing across disciplines - Attachment, Polyvagal, Neuroscience, Child Development Theory, Trauma, and Somatics - this book provides a new lens through which to understand safety and regulation. It includes the survey used in the groundbreaking ACE Study, which discovered a clear connection between early childhood trauma and chronic health problems.

For therapists working with both adults and children and anyone dealing with symptoms that typically arise from early childhood trauma - anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, metabolic disorders, migraine, sleep problems, and more - this book offers fresh hope.

Critic reviews

Nurturing Resilience offers a new map for navigating the process of healing from developmental trauma and skillfully incorporates the often-overlooked role of touch in repairing and restoring relational well-being. Written in clear, accessible prose and drawing on research across multiple disciplines, this book is a remarkable achievement by two seasoned and respected somatic practitioner educators.” (Rae Johnson, PhD, RSMT, chair of the somatic studies specialization in the depth psychology doctoral program at Pacifica Graduate Institute and author of Embodied Social Justice)

“Brilliant! Kathy and Stephen have produced a groundbreaking work that provides a deeper understanding of the interface between developmental trauma and mental and physical disorders and most importantly the pathways to their healing.” (Michael Ocana, MD, medical director of Kelowna Adolescent Psychiatric Unit and clinical assistant professor at the University of British Columbia)

“This book synthesizes the simplicity of our human quest for safety and connection with the complexities of our biological design. As vanguards in somatic therapies, Kathy and Stephen have trained thousands of therapists all over the world and are now graciously imparting their strategies for resilience through this gift of their combined wisdom.” (Christopher Walling, PsyD, president of the United States Association of Body Psychotherapy)

Narration feels unnatural. They try to give impression they understand the material, but it comes through that they don't. Content seems excellent.

Annoying narrator

This book provides a useful overview of facets of trauma, while fleshing out concepts like "foundational trauma" and "somatic shame". This could be an excellent companion to van der Kolk's Body Keeps the Score.

Usable Overview

A sensitive and compassionate exploration of a unique kind of trauma, which the authors are calling, developmental trauma. A form of trauma that requires even more nuanced understanding, and expertise from the therapist willing to support individuals seeking resiliency and healing. It’s an excellent book. I highly recommend it. 

Hopeful! Powerful!

The content of this book is wonderful and hopefully everyone can learn a little of it. It was wildly hard to get through as the voice is robotic and almost sounds like listening to a computer.

Great content - so hard to listen to

Loved the info very insightful, definitely geared towards therapists but the material is understandable. Would have loved for a pdf with the book but didn’t bring one.

Great info, very technical

Somatic reprocessing is achieved through the context of a supportive therapeutic relationship. Regulation. Regulation. Regulation.

Inspiring

I really thought I had read all the trauma books. Well this really explained early developmental trauma and why I have such a hard time.

Most helpful at understanding EDT

I’m my field I particularly wish that newborn sleep consultants and therapists had this information. Also helpful for any human in relationship as we all have need of understanding the way we are wired.

Wow should be required
