Unexplained Symptoms? It Could Be Past Trauma. Researchers have shown that survivors of accidents, disaster, and childhood trauma often endure lifelong symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to unexplained physical pain, fatigue, illness, and harmful "acting out" behaviors. Today, professionals and clients in both the bodywork and the psychotherapeutic fields nationwide are turning to Peter A. Levine's breakthrough Somatic Experiencing.® methods to effectively overcome these challenges. In Healing Trauma, Dr. Levine gives you the personal how-to guide for using the theory he first introduced in his highly acclaimed work Waking the Tiger. Join him to discover: how to develop body awareness to "renegotiate" and heal traumas by "revisiting" them rather than reliving them; emergency "first-aid" measures for times of distress; and nature's lessons for uncovering the physiological roots of your emotions."Trauma is a fact of life," teaches Peter Levine, "but it doesn't have to be a life sentence." Now, with one fully integrated self-healing tool, he shares his essential methods to address unexplained symptoms of trauma at their source - the body - to return us to the natural state in which we are meant to live.

Best investment in an audio program I have ever made

I had the fortune to train with Peter Levine last month. I am a psychologist and Levine's training was the best I have ever attended. I have found his work to be quite powerful. The audio program has really helped me to understand how he works. The exercises and suggestions as well as case examples are all helpful.

An Excellent Resource for All

As a psychotherapist who has received extensive training in Peter Levine's technique of Somatic Experiencing, I find this book to be a helpful resource for my clients who are working through past trauma. The exercises are simple yet powerful. The text contains a lucid and clear explanation of how the nervous system can store undischarged activation from past events, and the process required to release this activation. The result is a letting go of living in the past and the tremendous freedom of living in the present. I recommend this book very highly to all who are interested in exploring how to heal trauma.

Peter Levine does it again

I was introduced to the work of Peter Levine several years ago with his book "Waking the Tiger" so was very interested to see his most recent work. After reading it and listening to the CD I have been pleasantly surprised by its impact. As a psychologist treating people who have been traumatised I find the work challenging and sometimes difficult due to vicarious traumatisation. His book and CD will not only be a useful resource for my clients but will assist me to stay healthy while I help others. Highly recommended.

Good starting point but the techniques are not useful

You start this book thinking that this is the reason why I'm suffering but the techniques he created don't seem to work at all. They look artificial and you get an instinctive feeling that they're not gonna work, and for me they really don't seem to have an effect. I'd suggest you go to a Rosen Method practioner. This method has scientific evidence of how it works and seems to cure everyone's stuck feelings who has tried it.
