Synopsis: The use of Clean Language in therapeutic practice emphasises a simple but highly effective questioning style between patient and practitioner. The author of this practical guide explains the philosophy and practice of how to use language to get to the heart of a client's physical problem, to engage the mind in the process of the body, and to create somatic change. The Clean Language technique is simple and accessible, and can be applied to a range of therapies that deal with the mind and body. Nick Pole provides compelling theoretical explanations and practical case studies to describe the importance of language and relationships in the practice of mind/body therapies. Practitioners of yoga, shiatsu, acupuncture, physiotherapy, The Feldenkrais Technique and more will find this guide transformative in increasing the connection with clients and developing their practice through language.
