Healing Developmental Trauma: How Early Trauma Affects Self-Regulation, Self-Image, and the Capacity for Relationship Paperback – Illustrated, September 25, 2012

The book claims that CPTSD clients could access their numbed emotions through bodily sensations, and they could develop attachment with the therapist through bodily touches. It is persuasive.It's just that the book is so repetitive. It feels often like "You just said that two sentences ago!! And you said that in the beginning of this chapter and also in the previous chapter and also in the chapter before the previous chapter, and four sentences ago also!!" to the extent that in the end made me feel physically sick. I did not feel the authors' effort in trying to communicate the message in an effective way. The book probably didn't have to be this long if they did.The Affective Touch case study is descriptive and practical, but for the rest, I did not enjoy the reading.
