Abstract
This paper aims to develop therapeutic perspectives on relational and somatic phenomena but also difference and diversity dynamics associated with chronic fatigue as a presenting issue. In common with other complex and severe conditions, chronic fatigue will often appear as a single issue dominating the therapeutic space, a dynamic that may easily obscure sight of the person. The author reviews contemporary literature and considers dynamics associated with chronic fatigue phenomena commonly encountered in the therapeutic relationship. Autonomic nervous and sensory-motor systems also appear crucial for developing better understanding of, and sensitivity for, working with chronic fatigue phenomena.
