In this step-by-step guide to experiential approaches to somatic therapy, Dr. Richard Nongard bridges the gap between traditional psychotherapy, coaching, hypnotherapy, and body-based healing, offering therapists a comprehensive framework for incorporating somatic approaches into their practice.

Research suggests that the presence of the therapist, and how the therapist truly forges a connection with the client in therapy, are the most crucial factors affecting the client’s healing process. An engaged, committed, caring therapist who is mindful of his or her own self - and how that self relates to the client - is the key determinant of how well that client will respond to therapy.
