With body-based exercises, foundational tools, and practical guidance, The Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy Workbook shows you how the 5 practices of Somatic IFS-somatic awareness, conscious breathing, radical resonance, mindful movement and attuned touch-work together to build embodied safety, integrate unresolved harm, and facilitate trauma healing.<br/><br/>The workbook opens by inviting the therapist to explore their own Internal System, offering an embodied approach to experiencing the model. Chapter 1 explores and explains foundational concepts like somatics, embodiment, Parts, Self, and the cultural influences that shape and shift our embodied experiences. Chapters 2-6 move into theoretical grounding, clinical applications, and practical exercises for each of the five practices. They offer tools to:<br/>• Develop clients' ability to name, describe, and convey sensations<br/>• Recognize and track for signs of overwhelm<br/>• Work with Parts that fear body awareness<br/>• Understand the purpose and clinical benefits of conscious breathing<br/>• Restore the Embodied Self <br/>• Explore therapeutic shifts from doing to to being with clients<br/>• Heal attachment wounds<br/>• Integrate mindful movement into healing developmental trauma<br/>• Understand and practice attuned touch<br/><br/>Each practice is designed to be used whenever it will be of benefit: the tools and exercises are non-linear and adaptable, and aren't limited by a prescriptive sequence. The workbook also explores links between current psychotherapeutic practice and ancient healing modalities, grounding SIFS in a larger web of effective somatic trauma healing and embodiment approaches.
