ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on how to increase attention to embodied processes in nontouch therapies. Nontouch embodied therapy becomes more expansive when clinicians have studied and worked within models of physical contact such as the one presented in this book. Therapists who engage in their own embodied therapy find they have an enhanced intuitive capacity to link mind and body when working with trauma patients, even in nontouch treatment. The final section explores the therapeutic use of eye contact and includes a case vignette about the author’s own personal work around eye contact that enhanced his use of it with patients.
