A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
A therapist integrates embodiment research, trauma awareness, spirituality, and practices for returning to bodily experience.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It helps travelers move from treating the body as object, obstacle, or project toward experiencing it as part of the self that knows and belongs. The integration is especially useful where spirituality has encouraged disembodiment.
Good starting place if…
You feel disconnected from your body through shame, trauma, religious formation, illness, or constant self-monitoring and want a gentle route toward renewed trust.
Know before you begin…
McBride integrates psychology, embodiment research, clinical experience, and Christian reflection for a broad audience. Practices should be adapted carefully where body attention increases distress, and the book does not replace trauma-informed treatment.
