self-help

This is a strong compilation of bodywork techniques written by the founders of each technique. Accessible and thought-provoking, it provides theoretical as well as practical bases for each type of therapy. The book presents a wide range of options in a non-judgmental way, neither endorsing nor discounting them. This allows the reader to choose the method most appropriate for his or her needs. It is excellent for trauma survivors who wish to reclaim ownership of their bodies, either in conjunction with or separate from talk therapy. However, one does not need to have experienced trauma to benefit from bodywork. Therefore, I strongly recommend it to all audiences.
