Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma

One of the key directions of modern psychotherapy is working with traumatic experience. Many people live without realizing that every day they encounter the consequences of a painful experience they went through. An unsuccessful trip to the dentist, living with a chronic illness, discord with a loved one—these are typical traumatic experiences in today’s society. Trauma, like strong feelings in general, is capable of controlling our behavior, influencing how we perceive ourselves in the world, and often has physical manifestations. That’s why the way we experience such an event greatly affects the quality of all our lives.

In his book, Dr. Peter Levine, doctor of medicine and biological physics, explains how to transform painful life experience and extract benefits from it. From this book you will learn:
— what prevents trauma from healing;
— whether you can protect yourself from traumatic experience;
— what symptoms trauma creates;
— what body-sensed feeling (somatic feeling) is;
— how to stop being dependent on painful experience.
