Hands-On Techniques to Release Trauma Stored in the Body

About this book

• Explains how CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release can help you through the common traumas of the life cycle, from birth to death• Shares techniques and exercises to help process emotions and experiences, assess the functionality of the body's systems and energetic framework, and recognize and transform destructive energies into constructive processes• Looks at how to enhance CST techniques with other protocols, including the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' stages of griefLoss, abandonment, separation, and grief—many of life's most challenging experiences—are also the most common. But the trauma created by these experiences does not need to hold us back in life. As Diego Maggio shows, we can use the techniques of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and SomatoEmotional Release (SER) to understand, address, and overcome the stress that traumatic events cause and transform the painful experiences inherent in life into opportunities for growth and expanded awareness.Sharing Dr. Upledger's techniques and his own innovative applications of CST and SER across 20 years of practice, Maggio presents tools and exercises to facilitate your inner self-healing mechanisms and support yourself and others through the stages of grief and bereavement following a loss—whether the loss is large or one of the "small deaths, " such as losing a job or ending a relationship. The author explores all of the biological and energetic evolutionary stages of the life cycle through the lens of CST and shares manual therapy techniques and self-help exercises to process emotions and experiences, assess the energetic framework of the body and the chakras, and recognize and transform destructive energies into constructive processes. He looks at how to combine CST techniques with other protocols for managing the grieving process, including the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's stages of grief. He also explores how CST and SER techniques can help support the dying and those around them in the process of transition.Revealing how CranioSacral Therapy can help us integrate challenges and traumas whether recent or long past, Maggio shows how our experiences can give us the opportunity to evolve and grow as we journey through the beautiful cycles of life.
