Our brains mean well: They’re trying to protect us. And so do our trainers: They’re trying to empower us. But when we encounter these exercises, it can be shocking, painful, or demoralizing—and they can prevent us from becoming as healthy as we can be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seven years, Chelsea Haverly and Emily Young have been teaching trainers about the impact that a client’s trauma history can have on their workout performance and how to build sessions that accommodate people’s psychology and past experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLetting the Body Lead,\u003c\/i\u003e the two authors apply their expertise in therapy, fitness, and social work to a vital new guidebook that helps people heal through movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn particular, the book introduces us to two psychological states associated with trauma—\u003cb\u003ehyperarousal\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ehypoarousal. \u003c\/b\u003eHaverly and Young explain how each may be embodied in our nervous systems and, finally, how awareness of them can be incorporated into exercises. For example: While some people may need to move fast, others may need to move slow—and should not be shamed for it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the very worst, when we don't understand what people need and why, we risk harming them—either physically or psychologically. \u003ci\u003eLetting the Body Lead\u003c\/i\u003e shows us that fully understanding \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e of what people walk into the gym with—body \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e mind—and tailoring their exercise regimens to that knowledge is the best way to help people become their strongest selves.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51167644221728,"sku":"9798889843177","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/trauma-informed-bodywork","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
