From the USABP President

Dear Somatic Psychotherapy Readers, Our somatic psychology training and experience is needed now more than ever as our society evolves to no longer tolerate the separation of body and mind. We are the profession that has been involved with bodymind therapies for longer than the latest fad. Please jump onto our ship! USABP is hoping to not only bring your work into greater visibility but to bring more training opportunities to mainstream settings. People shouldn't have to drive one hour to see their somatic psychotherapistâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as many of my clients have to! And I live in New Jersey. Please tell someone about what you're reading now. Check out our website. Sign up for a free webinar. Join the movement.

Beth L. Haessig, Psy.D. President, United States Association for Body Psychotherapy President@usabp.org

Our contributors represent a diverse global background of academic and clinical training yet all approached our current theme, Embodied Spirituality, from a place of surrender, acceptance, and wonder. Mette Mouritsen, MD, writes from Denmark about her personal experiences with embodied spirituality and the wider impact on humanity while Albert Pesso shares his philosophical perspectives on spirit and body and God. Ronan Kisch, PhD shares case studies working with local priests and Rick Miller describes his work with embodied spirituality embedded in the body. Serge Prengel LMHC offers his experiences working with other psychotherapists to create a book about spirituality and ways we touch it and it touches us. And there is an in-depth review of Georg Feuerstein’s The Psychology of Yoga: Integrating Eastern and Western Approaches for Understanding the Mind along with an article about bridging yoga and psychology by Dawn Bhat MA, MS, NCC, RYT-500, LMHC.
