Understanding and Overcoming Developmental Trauma and Attachment Difficulties

By Kathy L. Kain and Stephen J. Terrell, featuring a foreword by Peter A. Levine, author of Waking the Tiger.

This comprehensive guide offers a practical, integrated approach for therapists working with child and adult patients impacted by developmental trauma and attachment difficulties. The authors, with a combined clinical and teaching experience of fifty years, provide a clear roadmap for understanding the complexities of early trauma and its related symptoms.

Experts in the physiology of trauma, Kain and Terrell present an introduction to their innovative somatic approach that has evolved to help thousands improve their lives. This approach synthesizes across disciplines, including Attachment, Polyvagal, Neuroscience, Child Development Theory, Trauma, and Somatics, providing a new lens through which to understand safety and regulation.

The book includes the survey used in the groundbreaking ACE Study, which discovered a clear connection between early childhood trauma and chronic health problems. For therapists working with both adults and children, and anyone dealing with symptoms that typically arise from early childhood trauma – such as anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, metabolic disorders, migraine, sleep problems, and more – this book offers hope for a happier, trauma-free life.
