The second edition of Experiential Unity Theory and Model: Treating Trauma in Therapy addresses the impact of trauma prevalent in the field of group therapy and in individual counseling and proposes Experiential Unity theory and model as an effective treatment option. It offers an integrative treatment approach that adheres to the principles of neuroscience and utilizes bottom-up processing, and a right-brain orientation to engage and process trauma. This theory and model has been offered in Individual therapy sessions as a treatment for depression, anxiety, addictions and other trauma- related distress and in Psychiatric Group therapy programs for over fourteen years. It has also been taught in university courses and delivered in workshops internationally, and at the Trauma informed Practice Institute, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

When the River Wakes Up is an exploration of paths rarely explored-the colliding of Western beliefs and Shona mysticism.

The goal of this book is to immerse the reader in previously suppressed feelings that hinder healing and to transcend patterns that keep us stuck. Through this process, we can reclaim our soul and so strive for our deepest dreams and reach our fullest potential.

Experiential Unity Theory and Model was devised to address the current concerns dominating the field of group therapy and individual counseling. It is vital that any healing modality address the root of the distress being presented. More and more clients are disconnected from their souls, and that is the principal cause of the levels of depression, anxiety, stress, eating disorders, anger, and other symptoms that are evident at disturbing levels in society today. Treatments from a cognitive behavioral perspective have a tendency to intellectualize clientsΓÇÖ experiences and therefore may present barriers to the necessary soul-based healing. The Experiential Unity Theory and Model is integrative, it includes the mind, body, spirit, and emotions in its treatment and therefore is able to provide a healing milieu whereby clients can address the core of their problems and heal fully.
