Souls Body

Dr. Tina Stromsted introduces her Soul’s Body® approach in this extraordinary volume, engaging the body-psyche connection in psychotherapeutic work. Through compelling case studies, the author illustrates multidisciplinary concepts, therapeutic techniques, trauma-informed practices, and teaching guidelines essential for body-psyche-spirit healing.

Stromsted’s method expands Authentic Movement, rooted in Jung’s Active Imagination approach, into a range of creative somatic practices within depth psychotherapy. Soul’s Body® fosters deeper self-awareness through bodily expression, dreamwork, creative imagination, empathic relationship, community engagement, and our connection with nature. This collection illuminates elements in the embodied healing process that can benefit professionals in the healing arts — Jungian analysts, clinicians, somatic psychotherapists, dancers, bodyworkers, artists, spiritual practitioners, and creative arts therapists. With over 45 years of clinical experience and decades of collaborations with pioneering clinicians Joan Chodorow, Janet Adler, Marion Woodman, and Stanley Keleman, Stromsted guides readers on an engaging journey toward conscious embodiment.

This book is a welcome companion for anyone interested in Jungian depth work, embodied spirituality, and cultivating a vital, meaningful life.
