The Transforming Touch® and Somatic Resilience and Regulation modalities are attachment-focused touch methods to rebuild developmental platforms through regulation, helping people into less stress day-to-day. Touch is the missing language of Developmental Trauma, and touch can register deep within one's system where words cannot reach. This non-verbal approach complements the psychological approach to healing early trauma.

Marty includes an option to add an extra focus that meets mutual goals. Examples are for heartache, a deep longing for connection that has not yet registered as being met, rebuilding boundaries, and evaluation and integration of primitive reflexes. Early trauma may interrupt the integration or primitive reflexes, or they may re-emergence with later stress.

Kathy L. Kain and Stephen J. Terrell coauthored a book, Nurturing Resilience: Helping Clients Move Forward from Developmental Trauma--An Integrative Somatic Approach

From their description: Nurturing Resilience draws on fifty years of their combined clinical and teaching experience to provide this clear road map for understanding the complexities of early trauma and its related symptoms. Nurturing Resilience is a practical, integrated approach for therapists working with people (both adults and children) who have been impacted by developmental trauma and attachment difficulties.
