Nurturing Resilience: Helping Clients Move Forward from Developmental Trauma by Stephen J. Terrell and Kathy L. Kain
“This is one of my absolute favourite books and one I recommend to anyone who truly wants to understand the connection between the body and the mind. Stephen Terrell has an extraordinary way of explaining how everything we experience is integrated somatically, how the body keeps track of our stories, even the ones we don’t consciously remember. He shows so beautifully that trauma and stress are not just psychological experiences but physiological ones that live in our tissues, our breath, and our nervous system.
What I love most about this book is how compassionate and hopeful it feels. Terrell reminds us that healing happens through gentle awareness, safety, and connection. It is not about forcing change but allowing the body to reorganise and find its natural rhythm again. He teaches that the key to truly feeling good and at ease is through the mind-body connection, learning to listen to what the body is saying and to let it guide the process of healing.
For anyone who works with trauma or has lived through it, this book offers a deep understanding and a sense of possibility. It is both scientifically grounded and deeply human.”
Blurb:
This book offers a clear, compassionate roadmap for clinicians working with children and adults affected by developmental trauma and attachment challenges. Drawing on fifty years of combined clinical and teaching experience, Kain and Terrell present an innovative somatic approach that synthesizes insights from attachment theory, polyvagal theory, neuroscience, child development, and trauma studies.
