" Sue Gerhardt – psychotherapist, author of bestselling Why Love Matters "This fascinating book, by one of the world's leading exponents of the use of attachment theory in therapy, explores why children and adults 'lose their spark' and how to help them rekindle it. This very accessible book of personal reflections and years of hard-gained therapeutic wisdom will be invaluable " Professor Paul Gilbert OBE – Founder of Compassion Focused Therapy; author of 20 books "Respark is a compelling synthesis of Graham Music's lively mind. His ventures into neuroscience, psychoanalysis,and embodiment have produced a remarkable model to reconceptualise and treat trauma and depression.
