EVERY BODY TELLS A STORy: A CRANIOSACRAL JOURNey
An interesting insight into the work of these healers and the compassion and thought they bring to their clients.
SUSIE ORBACH PSYCHOTHERAPIST & AUTHOR OF ‘BODIES’
Liz Kalinowska and Daška Hatton invite you into the therapy room to experience a therapeutic encounter through the lens of Craniosacral Therapy, discussing ways that therapists and clients can work together to optimise the success of treatment.
Describing a unique journey through ten bodywork sessions from the standpoints of a fictional client ‘Anna’, and her therapist, ‘Sarah’, the authors take you behind the scenes to witness the client’s voyage of discovery, and how the encounter appears to her therapist during the course of treatment. The book shows how the perspectives of both participants develop and widen through their shared experiences and examines the ups and downs of the therapeutic relationship.
Boundary, transference and trust issues are explored as Liz and Daška bring a female perspective to the process and share their own experiences of more than 40 years in practice. They use examples from myth and legend which place the work in a wider context.

Reading this book reminded me of my own very positive experience of this work. No question, should the need arise, I shall return for more treatment.

A fascinating account of ten sessions of Craniosacral Therapy. Written in the form of first person accounts from the perspectives of client, therapist and the authors, it takes the reader on a journey through their inner worlds, and clearly demonstrates the power and subtlety of a form of therapy which connects body and mind so well.
ROBIN SHOHET PSYCHOTHERAPIST & AUTHOR OF ‘PASSIONATE SUPERVISION’
Liz and Daška have presented a powerful journey through the personal and interpersonal processes that emerge as craniosacral sessions unfold and deepen. They stress that they are writing from a feminine perspective and that is so essential to hear and receive. Craniosacral work is essentially feminine in nature, based on states of presence, relationship and a deepening into a depth of listening and stillness. It is from this depth of presence, relationship and stillness, as the founder of the work William Garner Sutherland stressed, a deeper Intelligence emerges and session work unfolds uniquely in each moment of time. I really appreciated the personal journeys described in this volume and hope it supports all readers in their own journey in life within the whole spectrum of joy, sorrow and healing processes.
