Peter Levine

Peter Levine is a psychologist and trauma expert known for developing Somatic Experiencing, a therapeutic approach that focuses on the body's responses to trauma. He believes that traumatic experiences are stored in the nervous system and can cause ongoing physical and emotional issues if not properly processed. His method encourages individuals to recognize and release these stored tensions through mindful body awareness and gentle techniques, promoting natural healing. Levine’s work emphasizes the importance of understanding the body's role in trauma recovery, helping people regain a sense of safety and balance after distressing experiences.
