Abstract

Many discoveries in neuroscience can inspire therapists to explore novel ways of engaging their clients in therapeutic journeys. Some branches of neurosciences that appear a far stretch for therapists may actually offer interesting possibilities. This article examines the potential therapeutic contributions of studies in neurobiology, neurocardiology, and neurogastroenterology. In particular, it provides a theoretical rationale for the importance of embodied practices in order to more effectively assist clients struggling with intense and chronic problematic emotions. Clinical work with a young mother struggling with anxiety is described as an example of the embodied practices inspired by these scientific studies.
