### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book changed my life
*by O***  on May 1, 2020*

I’ve always had unresolved mental and health issues that have mysteriously come and gone... among the most bothersome, digestive issues and an acute negative reaction to perfumes and cleaning supply smells.I randomly came across this book while studying trauma and I was curious what an eastern approach to trauma looked like. It’s written beautifully and simply (no easy feat considering the complexity of the topic) but what really struck me was when I reached a chapter that read as if the author was deeply familiar with my medical history. After asking my parents, it turns out I had a medical trauma when I was around 2 years old and following it, my health and behavior changed substantially - almost following Duncan’s descriptions to a tee.Thirty-four years later, this discovery has given me a better understanding of my reaction to the trauma, why my body reacted the way it did, and HOW I can begin to heal. I’m saddened to think how many people are experiencing similar health problems without having this powerful knowledge.I can’t over emphasize how much of an impact this book has had on me and how grateful I am I stumbled across it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Profound healing at your finger tips.
*by L***S on September 7, 2019*

The Tao of trauma beautifully blends two unique modalities for healing trauma and restoring regulation in people. As an acupuncturist I find the SE techniques extremely effective and simple in helping people heal from trauma. This books provides a lens for non-acupuncturists to utilize the strengths and understanding of 5 element theory to facilitate their clients healing. This book is a remarkable tool for parents, teachers, therapists, body workers... anyone and everyone who hopes to help a person who is hurting.The basic 5 element theory gives a textural framework to begin understanding the relationship of the SE stages and how to recognize them.As a person who has used and been treated within this framework I found it profoundly healing.Alaine has written a beautiful and powerful book which is just the tip of the iceberg. Her mastery and compassion on the treatment room is profound to experience and learn from.It is a book for everyone not just acupuncturists.
