This forward-thinking book explores the impact of psychological trauma on the brain’s sensory pathways and demonstrates the crucial role sensory-based interventions can play in recovery.
Ruth A. Lanius and associates interweave neurobiological research with evocative case examples and narratives from survivors. The book shines a spotlight on the brain–body disconnect that is part of the lived experience of trauma, and traces what happens in all eight sensory systems when an individual is under threat. Featuring “Bridging to Practice” sections in each chapter, the book reveals how working with sensory pathways can engage the whole brain, promote neuroplasticity, and optimize the effectiveness of standard psychotherapies.
