Publisher's Summary
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.

Story
In this culmination of his life’s work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions.

In Trauma and Memory, best-selling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories?

An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting: polyvagal theory. In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body.

An audiobook can’t get better than this
Narrated by author, he reads it in a natural, conversational manner rather than soullessly reading a script. You feel the emphasis of certain parts and the natural flow. Content is very applicable and insightful. No fluff.

Mind Blowing!
Learning about healing from trauma? This is must read! The audiobook is great for being able to easily go through the material, but I will be adding a hard copy with the workbook to my collection ASAP.
I love that Peter Levine has done the audio reading for this. He does a great job and reads at a nice speed to be able to grasp the lessons.
I will be relistening to this book right away. This mans material is a real gift that I can't wait to start applying to my everyday life and to the hurting people around me.

I highly recommend this book for anyone healing from trauma. The exercises allow you to move through the physical symptoms which were locked in place when the traumatic incidents took places. By the end of the book, you’re left with fresh eyes. Almost as if seeing the world for the first time. Thank you so much, Peter Levine!
