Falling Awake

This pioneering guide is the first of its kind to integrate the FUN® program with the brainbody therapies known as EMDR, Brainspotting, and Yoga Nidra. It provides clear guidance on how to safely use therapeutic tools and self-regulation exercises for clinicians and individuals impacted by trauma, addiction, anxiety, grief, family dysfunction, and stress. It offers a comprehensive toolbox of strategies and techniques to use during therapy sessions or on your own. The science behind each modality and approach is explained in detail along with how they can be applied to maximize self-care care and enhance the therapeutic relationship. Techniques include case conceptualization, the use of mental imagery, directing attention to sensations in the body, focused eye movements and positions, and many more. Dr Shafer draws on her extensive, internationally recognised and evidence-based research in this accessible and innovative book. Clinicians will be able to diversify their scope of practice and further aid their clients' healing through the integrative potential of The FUN™ Program, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Yoga Nidra.
