“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® 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®, 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
