• Explains the simple yet transformative protocols and techniques of Mindfulness-Based Somatic Emotional Processing (MBSEP)
  • Describes how to work with specific emotional states, such as anxiety, grief and anger, and how to integrate MBSEP with other healing modalities
  • Demonstrates concepts and practices in detail through dozens of case studies from the authors' decades of therapy practice
    Developed by Robert Weisz, PhD, Mindfulness-Based Somatic Emotional Processing (MBSEP) is a simple practice that combines mindfulness and somatic perception to help regulate emotions and process traumas that are stored in the body. The authors explain the tools and techniques of MBSEP, and demonstrate these concepts and methods through decades of case studies.
    Weisz and Blackwood explain how we are emotional beings who feel and experience our emotions in our bodies. They explain the contrast between the somatic, body-based experience of emotions as opposed to the mental, cognitively-based stories, explanations, and judgments of the thinking mind.
    The authors explain the "struggle factor" and why it is futile to struggle against having negative emotions. They describe how to be mindfully present with emotional states like anxiety, anger, and grief and detail the healing influence of compassionate attention. Their methods foster neuroplasticity to create and expand neuronal linkages in the brain and nervous system. They also show how MBSEP can be integrated with other healing modalities.
    Revealing how we can access the hidden truths within our feelings, this guide presents an effective protocol for processing emotions and for emotional regulation.
