The classic edition of Rhythms of Recovery sheds light on rhythm, one
of the most important components of our survival and well-being. It
governs the patterns of our sleep and respiration and is profoundly tied
to our relationships with friends and family. But what happens when
these rhythms are disrupted by traumatic events? Can balance be
restored, and if so, how? What insights do eastern, natural, and modern
western healing traditions have to offer, and how can practitioners put
these lessons to use? Is it possible to do this in a way that's
culturally sensitive, multidisciplinary, and grounded in research?
Rhythms of Recovery
examines and answers these questions and provides clinicians with
effective, time-tested tools for alleviating the destabilizing effects
of traumatic events. It also explores integrative medicine, East/West
medicine, herbal medicine, psychedelic medicine, complex trauma, yoga,
and somatic and feminist therapies. For practitioners and students
interested in integrating the insights of complementary/alternative
medicine and 21st-century science, this deeply appealing book is an
ideal guide.
