A Different Way to Approach Trauma
Trauma comes in many different forms for humans. But have you ever wondered why it seems humans are the ones who are most often hindered by it, when compared to the animals who fight to stay alive every day? Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine takes a different approach to trying to understand trauma in humans, how we deal with it, and the symptoms we experience because of it.
Peter Levine is the director of the Foundation for Human Enrichment and developer of “Somatic Experiencing.” Not only does he work to normalize trauma and the symptoms felt from it, but he also offers new steps or exercises to help heal those with trauma. This book, along with his other efforts, helps to provide a new outlook and new hope for those hoping to better understand their response and symptoms to trauma.
Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine
Many methods people use to heal symptoms of their trauma often focus on the mental aspects of things. While this may seem effective for some, not all people will benefit from bringing up harmful experiences to their mind once again. Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine looks to animals for inspiration on a new way to handle healing trauma. After all, animals experience many hardships in their lifespan, and yet are able to continue living each day as they need. This is due to their physical responses, rather than mental responses.
Therefore, the steps and exercises suggested in this book look to exploring and healing through bodily sensations. Letting your body do what it needs as a physical response is important! Learn to “let it all out” in whatever way your body demands, and take the first steps to healing your body.
