Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma Through the Body

If the usual methods of therapy no longer bring results and the psyche and body seem to exist separately from one another, this book offers a different path — to return to the body as a support and a source of recovery. It explains how body-based practices can help release chronic tension, gently work through deep trauma, and once again feel wholeness and a zest for life.

Have you already tried standard ways of coping with stress and traumatic experiences, but relief still hasn’t come? Have you gone to a psychologist, but the anxiety won’t let go? Do you have the feeling that the mind “wants one thing,” while the body responds completely differently? Then this book is for you.

You will learn how to reduce stress through work with the body, improve your relationships with people, restore your ability to feel joy, and gradually free yourself from inner pain. The body is that missing link that helps bring together experiences, reactions, and healing.
