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.

"Speaks to the somatic route of healing trauma disorders. Provides exercises and cd recording. I don't think anyone should attempt to self-help trauma as this book seems to suggest, but this can be a useful guide for clinicians. I may try some of the gentler exercises in my groups." — Wendy (4 out of 5 stars)

" Levine is at his best in the first section of the book, before the exercises. He approaches the topic of trauma with a pervasive optimism and expectation for recovery. "

" I need to go through and do the exercises on the cd that is included but I think this book is very helpful for PTSD. I would recommend reading it along with his other book Waking the Tiger that goes into more detail. "
