Publisher's Summary

On Healing Trauma, respected therapist and teacher Peter A. Levine brings you face to face with his effective new treatment - not a "talking" cure, but a deep physiological process for releasing your past traumas and instilling a harmonious awareness of your body. Are you experiencing physical or emotional symptoms that no one is able to explain? If so, you may be suffering a traumatic reaction to a past event, teaches Levine. Medical researchers have known for decades that survivors of accidents, disaster, and childhood trauma often endure life-long symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to unexplained physical pain and harmful "acting out" behaviors reflecting these painful events. As a young stress researcher at the university of California at Berkeley, Levine found that all animals, including humans, are born with a natural ability to rebound from these distressing situations.

Outstanding

Thank you to Dr Peter Levine for sharing a lifetime of knowledge in how we as human can heal trauma. Our primal make up is something very special and with the right guidance and patience is capable of self healing and transformation beyond our beliefs. A book for everyone.

Best book I've ever listened to

What did you like most about Healing Trauma?

Made more sense than any other self help book I've read. No hype or BS, just great, useful information.

Terrible weird narration

Most bizarre narration full of misplaced strange pauses throughout reminiscent of William Shatner.
Ruined the book for me.

A must read for everyone!

A seriously underrated aspect of human health and everyday life. Peter Levine in his own words takes you on a journey to better understanding your own and other people's potential trauma and how to heal.

Fascinating and easy to digest

This book is a good introduction to understanding trauma and how and where it gets stuck; it made a lot of sense to me. I am pleased to have had this book recommend as the first book I decided to read on this topic. I will certainly look further into Levine's work.

Body

Might I suggest if you haven’t got a pump shower get into a jacuzzi or spa bath and let the jets hit your various body parts by moving sideways etc and then rubbing your arms and let’s saying this is my body .

Truly Remarkable Life work Shared.

I am about to listen again for the third time. Yes, this book, to me, is that important. It is not a pretty and flashy book. Just truly important for those brave enough to address personal and generational trauma. Thank you, Dr Levine. Thank you.
