Safe and soothed: randomised clinical pilot study on the subjective and psychophysiological impact of a new physiotherapeutic intervention in patients with dissociative disorders
The nest position is a potentially promising additional intervention for highly dissociative patients. Our findings help to better understand the importance of self-soothing and safety in these individuals and to address the research gap in physiotherapy within in-patient mental health care.
