With over 40 years of experience, Bertherat presents a unique approach that combines somatic therapy, psychology, and Eastern philosophy to help readers reconnect with their bodies and find lasting healing.

Understanding the Body's Wisdom

Bertherat argues that the body holds the key to understanding and healing trauma. She believes that our bodies store memories of past experiences, both positive and negative, and that these memories can manifest as physical symptoms, emotional distress, and behavioral problems. By attuning to the body's signals and exploring these stored memories, we can gain profound insights into our inner selves and begin the journey toward healing.

The Three Pillars of Healing

Bertherat's approach to healing is based on three fundamental pillars:

  1. Embodiment: Reconnecting with the body through mindful awareness and movement practices.
  2. Emotion: Exploring and expressing emotions that have been suppressed or denied.
  3. Relationship: Building healthy relationships with ourselves and others.

By integrating these pillars into our lives, we can cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves, release pent-up emotions, and foster meaningful connections with others.

Bertherat provides a wealth of practical somatic exercises and techniques to help readers embody their experiences and facilitate healing. These exercises include:
