[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 693925, member: 18958"] Rebelson. This post is showing up not having posted. I am posting it again, just in case. If it is repetitive sorry. (See below) There are not as I thought books on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Somatic Therapy, one of which SWOT refers to on your other thread which is EMDR. EMDR is with a therapist, but there is a lot of work being done now on how our we as humans have inbuilt ways to deal with and let go of trauma that do not rely on talk therapy but on bilateral movement. Two gurus in this field are the psychiatriast, Van Der Kolk, [U]the body keeps the score[/U] The other guru is Peter Levine, a psychologist. See, [U]In an unspoken voice: how the body releases trauma and restores goodness[/U]. Another book, which I have on my night table but have not yet read is by Levine and it has Tiger in the title. I think just one of these books would introduce you to the perspective. You could go to Amazon and read the reviews to get an idea. Another perspective entirely is represented by [U]the mindfulness workbook[/U]which uses a cognitive behavioral perspective for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). [I][/I] The somatic perspective does not involve much thinking--it is more about discharge and release. I think you would find it interesting, even just reading the reviews of Van der Kolk and Peter Levine's work. Again, these books by them do not deal with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) specifically, but trauma generally. Which would apply to each of us. This is a duplicate I think of what I may have posted somewhere else: For now, rebelson, what about Al Anon?
