The Connected Therapist

Relating Through the Senses

An audiobook about an OT (occupational therapist) who studied Dr. Bruce Perry's work, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and then found healing for her own family and the families she serves.

In this three-part title, Marti discusses how trauma-aware research transformed her own therapy practice from behavior to connection-focused. The senses are explored in relation to how adverse experience shapes our preferences and sensory processing abilities. The final section reveals resources and practical strategies to help select best practices and sensory-based strategies that promote healing through activity

Great tools for interventionists

Practical applications very instrumental in developing a broader understanding of the material and therapeutic interventions presented in this book. I love the author’s philosophy and approach- can’t hurt, might help.

Amazing insight

Started reading this book for a Book Club. Also for personal growth and understanding. The information on sensory issues and techniques to help children overcome them was very informative. I look forward to using those techniques with the children I help very day.

Awesome presentation of material I have not heard before.

Very informative for my career working with teens in mid high school.
I really enjoyed the simply put, straight forward and honest stories and theories shared in this interesting book.
