[libribook.com] Traumatic Scar Tissue Management 1st Edition
Clinical ConsiderationAccording to van der Kolk (2014):The biology of safety and danger, one based on subtle interplaybetween the visceral experiences of our own bodies and the voicesand faces of the people around us – explains why a kind face or asoothing voice can make us feel calm and safe. Focused attunementwith another person can shift us out of disorganized and fearful states(Tomkins 1962, Porges 2011, van der Kolk 2014). Porges’ polyvagaltheory looks beyond the effects of fight/flight and puts socialrelationships front and center in understanding trauma. When themessage is ‘you are safe here’ tension eases and relaxation occurs.Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single mostimportant aspect of mental health. Social support (e.g. being trulyheard and seen by those around us, feeling that we are held insomeone else’s mind and heart) is the most powerful protectionagainst becoming overwhelmed by stress and trauma. For ourphysiology to calm down and in order to heal we need a visceralfeeling of safety. There is no prescription for this.
Clinical ConsiderationCertainly it is no new revelation to the MT profession that the body andmind are intimately linked, communicating and coexisting, sometimesharmoniously-supportive and sometimes not. According to Sagar et al.(2007):Available evidence is sufficient to indicate that therapeutic massage isa useful discipline for the relief of a variety of symptoms that affectboth the body and the mind.

Clinical Consideration
Certainly it is no new revelation to the MT profession that the body and
mind are intimately linked, communicating and coexisting, sometimes
harmoniously-supportive and sometimes not. According to Sagar et al.
(2007):
Available evidence is sufficient to indicate that therapeutic massage is
a useful discipline for the relief of a variety of symptoms that affect
both the body and the mind.
