Part Six : Reflection and Analysis As we move through our reading of this book, you will complete a reflection and analysis for each section of the book. This assignment focuses on: Part Six: Inhabit Your Body & Creating Structures: Chapters 16 and 18 How does yoga improve HRV? How is this connected to healing from trauma? The author describes a technique pioneered by Albert Pesso where the client creates structures from their past. What are the strengths of this intervention? Weaknesses? Van der Kolk shares that that in order to heal, those who have experienced trauma need to be able to hold painful realities and work to address the visceral experiences that have held them frozen in trauma. What does he present to us about how to replace these sensations with feelings of safety, mastery, delight and connection? How can clients accomplish this? How can we help them do this?
