Polyvagal-Informed Restorative Movement Psychotherapy: Roots, Rhythm, and Reciprocity

By Amber Elizabeth Gray

An invitation for any clinician wanting to adopt body-based therapies into their practice.

This expansive guide is the harvest of Amber Gray's three decades of experience as a somatic and dance/movement psychotherapist working with survivors of oppression, war, and other severe traumas. From this challenging work, Dr. Gray has sourced innovative pathways to healing, utilizing the emergent wisdom of Polyvagal Theory as a guidepost for somatic and movement-based psychotherapy with survivors of any type of trauma.

Here listeners will find a range of body-based practices and processes that any clinician can incorporate into their therapeutic work. Examples highlight how somatic interventions can be applied in the broader context of a restorative approach to survivor-centered psychotherapy. This deeply humanitarian book weaves many streams of wisdom at the crossroads of science, Spirit, and eco-somatics; what emerges is a path to profound healing that is accessible to any clinician and any client.
