‘In Whole Again, Silvia Zanotta, brilliantly integrates Ego State Therapy with body-based therapies. The product is a model that effectively promotes a co-regulatory journey of healing in which the therapist guides the client through a process of re-embodiment in which safety is now experienced in both bodily feelings and thoughts.’ Stephen W. Porges, author of The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-regulation and The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe ‘In this carefully thought-out application of Ego states, Silvia Zanotta demonstrates the importance of understanding how these states are anchored in our bodies. Using incites from Somatic Experiencing and other body approaches, she shows how we can move from fragmentation to Wholeness.’ Peter A Levine, Founder of Somatic Experiencing®, Author of Waking the Tiger and An Autobiography: A Healing Journey ‘I highly recommend this book to readers who are experienced in studying and practicing Ego-State approaches, as well as to those who want to begin learning about this dynamic, highly effective path to healing posttraumatic difficulties. And while you are learning as you read the pages of this book, you will deeply appreciate the author’s masterful clinical skills as well as her ability to take you on a deeply enriching journey toward self-empowerment and wholeness. Please welcome this rewarding new book into your library and into the heart of your clinical practice.’ Maggie Phillips, author of Reversing Chronic Pain, of numerous papers and articles in the areas of ego-state therapy, hypnosis, Somatic Experiencing®, and the treatment of post-traumatic conditions and pain.
