"Nurturing Resilience offers a new map for navigating the
process of healing from developmental trauma and skillfully
incorporates the often-overlooked role of touch in repairing and
restoring relational well-being. Written in clear, accessible prose
and drawing on research across multiple disciplines, this book is a
remarkable achievement by two seasoned and respected somatic
practitioner educators."
--Rae Johnson, PhD, RSMT, chair of the somatic studies
specialization in the depth psychology doctoral program at Pacifica
Graduate Institute and author of Embodied Social Justice
"Brilliant! Kathy and Stephen have produced a groundbreaking work
that provides a deeper understanding of the interface between
developmental trauma and mental and physical disorders and most
importantly the pathways to their healing."
--Michael Ocana, MD, medical director of Kelowna Adolescent
Psychiatric Unit and clinical assistant professor at the University
of British Columbia "In this well-written and researched book, the
authors have condensed and made accessible many of the important
philosophies that underlie modern psychotherapy practice.
[Nurturing Resilience] integrates current relational,
developmental, and somatic knowledge to help within the growing
populations of emotionally, physiologically, and behaviorally
dysregulated individuals presenting in all levels of our
society."
--Tony Richardson, somatic psychiatrist "This book synthesizes the
simplicity of our human quest for safety and connection with the
complexities of our biological design. As vanguards in somatic
therapies, Kathy and Stephen have trained thousands of therapists
all over the world and are now graciously imparting their
strategies for resilience through this gift of their combined
wisdom."
--Christopher Walling, PsyD, president of the United States
Association of Body Psychotherapy "Nurturing Resilience
explains how early childhood trauma not only affects us
psychologically but has a profound effect on our physiology.
Stephen J. Terrell and Kathy L. Kain are leading experts in the
physiology of trauma and how to untangle the mystery of modern
disease."
--Shirley Impellizzeri, PhD, SEP, author of Why Can't I Change?:
How to Conquer Your Self-Destructive Patterns and coauthor of
Scared Speechless: 9 Ways to Overcome Your Fears and Captivate
Your Audience "Nurturing Resilience is a tour de force
contribution to the growing field of neuroscience-informed, somatic
approaches. Its argument foregrounds a central problem: a
disconnect between medical approaches to complex, physiological
symptoms and psychological support, the impact of which has
compromised understanding of what constitutes and builds
resilience. Nurturing Resilience stands apart in its ability
to bridge, in accessible ways, medical and somatic psychological
conversations."
--Kesha Fikes, PhD, RSMT, anthropologist, somatic therapist, and
core somatic studies faculty member at the Pacifica Graduate
Institute "At last! A book written by two of the master teachers in
somatic touch and trauma! Nurturing Resilience blends
theory, stories, and clinical examples beautifully and skillfully
into a reader-friendly volume. This will be a valued resource on my
bookshelf for years to come and is a 'must-read' for anyone who
works with early and developmental trauma."
--Ellen Keating, PsyD "This is a go-to book for any practitioner
working with clients dealing with trauma. Terrell and Kain
beautifully outline the origins of developmental trauma, how our
nervous system adapts and supports the complexity of symptoms later
in life, and how to respond/intervene in service of greater health.
To understand developmental trauma as beautifully explained here is
to understand and appreciate our most challenging clients. If you
read only one book, this is it."
--Berns Galloway, MEd, Somatic Experiencing(R) instructor at the
Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute "Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell
have produced a scholarly, comprehensive and coherent exploration
of the complex terrain of developmental trauma. Nurturing
Resilience promises to inspire clinicians to cultivate new,
somatically based approaches that engage the physiological
foundations of healthy attachment and inner regulation."
--Alaine D. Duncan, MAc, LAc, Dipl.Ac "This is the book we've been
waiting for. Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell, two exceptional
clinicians and trauma trainers, share with us their joint expertise
in the therapeutic healing of early, developmental trauma. With
insight and clarity, they lay out a conceptual framework that
elegantly integrates theories of attachment, neuro-development, the
autonomic nervous system, and mind-body psychology in order to
illuminate the complex underpinnings of early trauma."
--Jacalyn Brecher, health and wellness advocate "Terrell and Kain
have found an intersection between our earliest physiological
development and attachment patterns and developed a method that
helps increase regulation in even the most symptomatic clients.
Their deep understanding of stress and attachment physiology,
combined with the psychological and emotional components, opens a
path to healing that is often much easier for clients to undertake
than traditional talk therapies. This work has absolutely
transformed my practice and given me a whole new lens to see the
root cause of deep hurt in my clients."
--Brandy Vanderheiden MA, MFT "Kathy Kain is one of the world's
leading experts on working through the body to resolve trauma and
expand resilience. She brings breadth and depth into her approach,
yet teaches in a way that is practical and clear. She is masterful
at interweaving the principles and strategies of Somatic
Experiencing(R), attachment therapy, and polyvagal theory to create
a powerful foundation for finding and working with the challenges
of early preverbal and nonverbal elements of traumatic experience
to promote the permanent reintegration of self. I strongly
recommend her work."
--Maggie Phillips, PhD, coauthor of Freedom from Pain: Reversing
Chronic Pain and Healing the Divided Self "[Steve provides] an
experiential space wherein learning and growth can happen. It is a
difference between the 'top down' teacher approach, and the 'we are
all on the same plane and open to the possibility of experience'
facilitator approach. We each change in relation to the experience
and what we are ready to take in at that moment."
--Samantha Persoff, LMFT, trauma therapist "The work of Kathy Kain
and Stephen Terrell has provided a missing piece in working with
developmental trauma, complex PTSD, and attachment trauma. Their
understanding of the physiology of trauma and the complexities of
attachment bring well-grounded hope to clinician and client alike.
With their work, you will learn to use compassion with practical,
hands on techniques that support change, growth, and healing. Their
work has transformed my understanding and work as a therapist."
--Terry D. Trotter, MFT "[Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell] have worked
as a team towards the development of an integrative treatment
philosophy that combines heart and the best of known science. Their
unique practice domains approach the spectrum of dysregulation from
its earliest inception all the way to the other end of the
spectrum. The music underneath their lyrics hums with resilience
and optimism."
--Kathleen Adams, PhD
