SomaCentric Dialoguing offers therapists simple yet effective
techniques for improving communication with their clients, and for
helping clients understand and articulate the messages of their
body. In this accessible introduction to the approach, Julie McKay
outlines the core techniques and describes how they can be applied
to make therapeutic sessions more effective. Explaining that
individuals communicate and process information in different ways
she describes how therapists can identify each client's unique
language blend, and how they can use this knowledge to encourage
them to become more in tune with, and more able to express, their
body's needs. Guidance is provided on how to ask more effective
questions in sessions, what words to use, and what words to avoid,
for optimal results. Using carefully chosen words and phrases
therapists can empower clients to express themselves freely. Using
the simple, yet profound, techniques outlined in this book
therapist of all kinds will learn how to look beyond the head and
into the body to help clients heal more completely and more deeply.
This wonderful resource will provide bodyworkers, acupuncturists,
occupational therapists, psychotherapists, movement instructors and
a wide range of other healing arts practitioners with the skills
they need to refine their dialoguing vocabulary and deliver rich
and rewarding sessions.
