Reclaiming the body and restoring a bodily self in drama therapy: A case study of sensory-focused Trauma- Centred Developmental Transformations for survivors of father–daughter incest

Survivors of father–daughter incest often suffer from complex trauma and sensory insensitivity, making it difficult to decipher the sensations in the body and experience body ownership, self-location and agency. This case study illustrates how sensory focused, Trauma-Centred Developmental Transformations can help restore or develop a bodily self, desensitize fear-based schemas, revise deeply buried beliefs and extend repertoire.
