***This text is in english, but the book is in ukranian language *** The author and illustrator is the Gestalt and trauma therapist (Somatic Experiencing) and graduate mathematician Kati Bohnet. She works with families with traumatized children as well as their teachers, educators and relatives in her practice in Berlin. She is the founder and director of the helpers circle education center, in which she and families with traumatized children and their teachers, educators and relatives immerse themselves in the shallows of the nervous system through on-site and online workshops, training courses and regular group offers, so that they with the necessary local knowledge on the "sea floor" can safely accompany their adoptive/foster/bonus/belly child. The SOS exercises for emotional first aid & stress regulation have been tried and tested in practice for a long time. SOS stands for Somatic Oriented Safety because that is what our nervous system is all searching for at all times.
