Waking the Tiger - Peter Levine
Waking the Tiger is the groundbreaking and foundational work by Peter Levine, one of the founders of the field of somatic experiencing, which offers an approachable understanding of trauma and its effects on the body. Levine’s approach focuses on how trauma is stored in the body and how, through mindful attention to physical sensations, we can release the deeply held stress and tension caused by past events. This book illuminates how healing happens when we reconnect with our body's natural ability to process and transform traumatic experiences.
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” — Peter Levine
For those ready to explore the transformative power of somatic healing - an invitation to awaken the body’s wisdom and release the emotional and physical hold of trauma.
