Being able to monitor and modulate a trauma client’s dysregulated nervous system is one of the practitioner’s best lines of defense against traumatic hyperarousal going amok―risking consequences such as dissociation and decompensation. This paperback edition of Babette Rothschild’s The Body Remembers, Volume 2 , clarifies and simplifies autonomic nervous system (ANS) understanding and observation. It includes a full-color table that distinguishes six levels of arousal, which has proven to be an essential clinical tool, presenting a new and useful distinction between trauma-induced hypoarousal and the low arousal that is caused by lethargy or depression. Multiple therapeutic transcripts illuminate key points in trauma treatment, including stabilizing clients who dissociate, identifying and implementing hidden somatic resources, and utilizing good memories and somatic markers. With an authoritative yet personal voice, Rothschild’s book is essential reading for anyone working with those who have experienced trauma. The full-color ANS table is also available separately as a laminated desk reference card. 10 black-and-white illustrations Read more
REVIEW
I am an LCSW in private practice. Years ago I began using Barbara Rothschild's techniques in her book The Body Remembers for treating PTSD. They have been invaluable because I found the then-preferred method of using exposure therapy causes re-wounding and my clients wouldn't do it. Since then there has been new research on the role of the brain and neurological system in PTSD and other psychiatric conditions that now proves both she and I were right about the negative effects of exposure therapy. In this book, Rothschild has expanded her original approach to incorporate the latest advances in the way we now understand the role of the neurological system in psychological dysregulation. At first the book seemed too complex, ugh, but as I committed to delving into it, I could see how in many ways she has made using the work of Dr. Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Theory and that of other practitioners like Deb Dana and Janina Fisher more readily accessible and applicable. I heartily recommend this book to practitioners and say, just hang in there. It's worth it and not as complex as it looks. The many transcripts of her work really demonstrate how she and we can apply the new research findings. My clients have been most receptive to getting to know and work with their neurological systems in this way to heal trauma.
