In this book, Dr. Leland W. Howe sets forth a new and powerful trauma healing therapy that uses uses innovative energetic protocols to help rid the body and mind of emotional and behavioral disturbances such as chronic depression, anxiety, stress, conflict, and emotional reactivity. Using fascinating case studies, Dr. Howe introduces an approach to healing and wholeness that can change your life!
This client-centered Energetic Therapy is body-oriented. Trauma clients set a healing intention and then let spontaneous movements direct their healing. Since movement is connected to every part of the brain, clients' spontaneous movements elicit hidden-buried trauma memories, feelings, and thoughts as well as more spontaneous movements that help them realize their healing intentions. The mega-star of this approach, The Spontaneous Movement Protocol, helps clients restructure their Energetic Holding Defenses and thus unlock and release the muscular tension in their bodies that keeps their childhood and adult trauma experiences continually activating brain-alarm symptoms such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other post-traumatic-stress reactions. Compared to other trauma healing psychotherapy approaches, this Energetic Therapy method feels like it moves clients' Energetic Trauma Healing Therapy ahead at the speed of light.
