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.

A human approach

As an indigenous American, I was looking for a book that I could recommend to someone who has suffered multiple traumas. Levine offers a down-to-earth method that makes sense to me coming from a traditional native background.

Great Audio!

This book was good for those suffering from trauma and people who help people deal with trauma. I'm glad I listened. I had some past trauma and these exercises in the book really helped me understand how the mind can really effect the way we heal. I am definitely recommending.
