Shadow Dancing: Embodied Recovery from Trauma and Addiction

"Shadow Dancing" is illuminating and transformative, with a passionate plea to shift from the conventional medical model to a more nuanced, trauma-aware, and integrated methodology.

Drawing from his rich experiences as a nurse in addiction treatment centres in the Netherlands and the UK, Paul du Buf champions the importance of a holistic understanding of addiction, exploring the complex interplay between trauma and addiction and articulating the significant steps required for services to transition successfully into becoming trauma-aware.

"Shadow Dancing" urges the inclusion of aspects of the Polyvagal model, Integral theory, and Internal Family Systems model into addiction treatments, adding depth to its narrative. This work is the culmination of Paul du Buf's years of knowledge and skill, amalgamated into a compelling blueprint for the future of addiction treatment. Number of pages: 110.
