When I read it a few month into learning the method it I didn’t draw much out of it but I found much more value when I reread it two years later.
The book has a short description on the cover:
“The Wild Region of Lived Experience introduces the emerging discipline of somatic-psychoeducation, a powerful body-mind modality developed over a period of 25 years by author Danis Bois. Somatic-psychoeducation uses aspects of manual therapy (touch), movement, and psychotherapeutic methods to help people heal from physical and emotional issues, as well as develop their maximum potential for balance, well-being, and creativity. Considering the person as a body-mind unit, this method aims to resolve physical pain and psychological suffering, thereby helping the subject regain the sure sense of his or her life. By teaching people to perceive, to feel, and to reflect, they learn from their bodies and from events in their lives.”
His main work is in French and his PHD students also published in French, so there isn’t much published in English.
One of his book is translated into English under the title The Wild Region of Lived Experience: Using Somatic-Psychoeducation. The book is however not easily readable for people without background in the method.
