Отрывок из книги

The body possesses innate capacities to ensure we make it through distressing situations. This inborn wisdom of the body inspired me to develop Sensorimotor PsychotherapySM (SP) decades ago. I have made it my life’s work to elucidate this largely untapped resource so that we can engage it to help ourselves and others heal from severe stress, trauma, and attachment disruption.

The Hidden Strengths Therapeutic Children’s Books series captures this essential spirit and intention of Sensorimotor PsychotherapySM. The authors render the core concepts of this approach accessible to both caregivers and young people struggling in the aftermath of overwhelming experiences. The stories do so with sensitivity and particular attention to illustrating the bodily experience of the child in an engaging and compelling manner.

Over time, we develop habits of defensive responses, often repeatedly engaging just one or two survival defenses. These then become our default behaviors in the face of subsequent threats, which is compassionately and wisely illustrated by the appealing characters in the stories in the series. Anyone helping children will find new ways to look at the often challenging and misunderstood behaviors children display after stress. The stories also encourage caregivers and children to become curious about the survival functions these behaviors may serve.

As the authors, both trained in Sensorimotor PsychotherapySM, describe how the characters adapt to challenging circumstances, the body’s wisdom is revealed. Each character favors a different survival defense, which is cleverly portrayed through the character’s movement, posture, and physiology. The pictures and rich descriptive text convey the real-life bodily and emotional experience of so many children, without evaluation, judgement, or interpretation. The stories describe events and behaviors from each character’s viewpoint, offering a variety of perspectives. Doing so enhances understanding of how the body responds and influences the meaning we make of what we see, hear, and feel. The ability to gain perspective, to stay curious, and to experiment are core to Sensorimotor PsychotherapySM and woven into each story. Children will feel relieved and understood as they recognize themselves and their peers in the myriad struggles of the characters. Behaviors children might have perceived as ineffective or worse, a confirmation of their own badness, may very well be transformed into a strength that can be adapted to help them thrive. Our bodies adapt via movement, posture, and physiology.
