<unk>  is a form of<unk>  as therapy, adapted from modern postural<unk> . It was developed at the Justice Resource Institute's Trauma Center in Brookline, Massachusetts, in 2002 by David Emerson and colleagues. It was designed to promote an enhanced feeling of safety for traumatised individuals as they engage in an exercise that is focused on body awareness, which might otherwise be overwhelming for them. It addresses the need for a trauma-informed<unk>  practice able to identify and mitigate potentially triggering environmental and physiological circumstances, while still providing the psychological and physical benefits that typical<unk>  practice offers.<unk>  has been formulated from five core domains which if nonoptimal could produce adverse side effects among a traumatized population by reminding them of their traumas: Five Core Domains<unk>  Modern postural<unk>  Environment Space is welcoming, safe, comfortable for vulnerable students Any suitable space Physical exercise Internal sensations important, for feelings of safety, self-acceptance Achieve particular postures Assists Allow space between teacher and pupil Polite hands-on acceptable Teacher qualities Gentle, students stay in control Often directive Language Non-directive instructions Directive language acceptable
