Summary of Staci Haines's The Politics of Trauma

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Somatics is the art of listening to your body and understanding what you feel. It helps you understand what you want and need, and it helps you develop self-knowledge and change.

#2 Somatics is a holistic methodology and theory of change that understands both personal and collective transformation through a radically different paradigm. It differs from approaches that say a change in your thinking will change your life, or a change in your language and framing will change everything.

#3 Somatics is the study of how our bodies interact with our experiences and environments. It understands people as a compilation of practices, which are mostly unconscious to us. We can’t not practice something, and we have an incredible capacity for change.

#4 The key aspects of somatic methodology include: somatic awareness, somatic opening, and somatic practices, within a social context and connected to land and spirit.
