[Summary] This podcast is based on the book "The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Healing" by Babette Rothschild, who presents a comprehensive theory of trauma and healing that incorporates a unique understanding of somatic memory. The text argues that trauma is a psychophysical experience, meaning it affects both the body and mind. The author provides a detailed account of how trauma affects the brain, nervous system, and body and how these changes can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Rothschild emphasizes the importance of developing body awareness and using somatic resources as a path toward healing. She outlines various techniques that therapists can use to help clients access and integrate their somatic memories, build resilience, and recover from trauma.
