Effective help for psychosomatic complaints

Our entire life story is stored in our bodies - the happiest moments, but also negative experiences and severe burdens. Long-term stress and traumatic experiences can more or less severely impair self-regulation, because all our body memories can be triggered at any time. This can lead to sleep disorders, anxiety and panic attacks, chronic exhaustion, migraines, difficulty concentrating, inability to relax, and many other complaints and problems.

This book introduces you to a form of therapy in which your body itself shows you the way: Somatic Experiencing® (SE) - "experiencing the body" - according to Dr. Peter Levine. With vivid examples from her own practice, she shows how this method helps to resolve the consequences of stress, shock, and traumatic experiences and to better deal with the stresses of everyday life.

An important basis for this is targeted and mindful attunement to the body. This allows internal tension to gradually release and make way for a feeling of strength and vitality. Many psychosomatic complaints are thereby deprived of their breeding ground. The quality of life increases, and you can once again focus on what is truly important to you in your life.

– Paperback edition, original edition published in 2013 by Südwest –

"In my clinical work, I regularly use the book to accompany trauma-focused therapy. The feedback from patients is remarkable. It is repeatedly reported that even the first chapters trigger a deep sense of recognition. This experience is more than information; it reduces shame, strengthens self-compassion, and opens up a new access to one's own biography. (...) The book combines neurobiological insights, psychotraumatological knowledge, and therapeutic experience in clear yet empathetic language. It is aimed at both affected individuals and professionals and creates a sustainable bridge between theory and lived experience.
This work is more than just reading – it is an instrument of understanding. It encourages us to no longer see our own body as an adversary, but as an ally on the path to integration. The moderate price also makes it possible to recommend the book to patients with a small budget. An explicit recommendation for everyone who wants to understand trauma in a nuanced way – and wants to approach themselves with greater gentleness."
