Virginia Satir’s Evolving Legacy: Transformative Therapy with a Bodymind Connection

The co-authors of Virginia Satir's Evolving Legacy are experienced practitioners, trainers, and/or personal growth coaches of Satir's Model, covering diverse areas of practice. Our decision to write collaboratively came from a desire to highlight both Satir's attention to the body, energy and spirit and the relevance of her teaching for these modern times. Together we have over 200 years as students, trainers and practitioners of Satir's Model.

Through personal stories and case studies, we share through the chapters of our book how the body is included in family therapy, trauma therapy, perinatal and infant therapy, dance and movement therapy, therapeutic applications of meditation, interactive sculpting and bodymind approaches to personal growth.

Satir anticipated current energy and body-focused therapies. The evolution of her work is integrative and ongoing, as her teachings are being taught globally today.
