Critics Review
Deirdre Fay’s Attachment-Based Yoga & Meditation for Trauma Recovery is a perfect fusion of heart, soul, and science–a rare and welcome mixture in a professional book! Fay gracefully integrates neuroscience and attachment research with the perspective of the yoga and meditation world to create a practical, compassionate guide to understanding the painful struggles of traumatized clients badly failed by their primary attachment figures. This beautifully written book also describes a cutting edge best-practice model for trauma treatment and offers a toolkit of accessible, practical strategies inspired by yoga and meditation practice. All therapists need this book–if only for inspiration!–Janina Fisher, PhD, author of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors
This book you hold in your hand–do not put it down! Attachment-Based Yoga and Meditation for Trauma Recovery is not only a major contribution to the literature of trauma treatment, it is one of the most moving books you will ever read. You don’t have to be in recovery from trauma or a healing professional to absorb the lessons of heart, body, mind, and spirit it offers, page after page. This book will change you at the most profound and life-altering level. Deirdre Fay has created an astonishing resource that integrates wisdom traditions of yoga and meditation, in both philosophy and practice, with current understanding and research in trauma treatment. I wept, I learned, and I cheered as I read.Finally, someone has the wisdom to integrate it all. Thank you, Deirdre Fay!–Amy Weintraub, Founder, LifeForce Healing Institute, author of Yoga Skills for Therapists and Yoga for Depression
