A New Book Coming Soon: Mindfulness-Based Somatic Emotional Processing (MBSEP) – A Guide for Patients & Therapists
Overthinking our way through stress is common to all of us. Most of us have been taught to analyze, judge or push our feelings with our minds.
On May 5, 2026, a groundbreaking new resource becomes available, offering a transformative roadmap for anyone seeking to heal from the inside out. Developed by Robert Weisz, PhD, and co-authored by Daniel Blackwood, M.A., this book introduces the powerful protocols of Mindfulness-Based Somatic Emotional Processing (MBSEP).
The Body Holds the Story: MBSEP provides a method for letting it go.
As humans, we are inherently emotional beings. However, we often get stuck in the “thinking mind” – the endless loop of stories, judgments, and explanations for why we feel the way we do.
Dr. Weisz and Mr. Blackwood explore the vital contrast between these mental narratives and our somatic, body-based emotions. They reveal the “struggle factor”—the futile resistance we often put up against negative emotions—and show why resisting our pain only makes it persist.
What You’ll Learn in This Book
This isn’t just a theoretical text; it is a practical, step-by-step manual for emotional regulation and trauma recovery. Inside, you will find:
- Simple, Transformative Protocols: Master the core techniques of MBSEP to regulate the nervous system in real-time.
- Specific Emotional Guidance: Detailed strategies for working through heavy states like anxiety, grief, and anger.
- The Power of Compassionate Attention: Discover how focused, mindful presence fosters neuroplasticity, creating new neuronal linkages in the brain and nervous system.
- Dozens of Case Studies: Learn through the lived experiences of others, drawn from the authors’ decades of clinical therapy practice.
- Integrative Healing: Learn how to combine MBSEP with other therapeutic modalities like RTM, CBT, EMDR, whether you are a professional therapist or a home practitioner.
“By encouraging acceptance and the experiential truth of our embodied emotions, Weisz and Blackwood offer a flexible protocol that turns ‘feeling’ into ‘healing’.”
