OVERVIEW: This PPT publication is a clinically useful manual about resourced based psychotherapy and the use of somatic resources as valuable tools for psycho-emotional transformation. Resourcing is central to the process of Psycho-Physical Therapy. Resources support our ability to deal effectively with the variable situations that life presents to us. They help us find and maintain a sense of inner strength, flexibility, balance, integrity, insight, and creativity. We draw upon these resources for support in times of need. Wounding occurs when resources are not strong enough to help a person sustain an internal sense of well-being or physical integrity in the face of insults and injuries. Somatic resources are the anatomical and physiological qualities and functions that support a physically felt experience of self, competency, and well-being.
The included material covers concepts and approaches that are important to understand in the assessment, creation, and integration of somatic resources as a central part of the somatic psychotherapeutic process. The publication is 67 pages in length.
