Real-Life Applications of TCTSY

The essays in Embodied Healing are written by a range of contributors including yoga facilitators, survivors, and therapists.

Each essay centers the voices, wisdom, and experiences of survivors and practitioners who work directly with trauma-sensitive embodiment therapies.
