Waking the Tiger

"Waking the Tiger" by Peter Levine explores how trauma affects the body's natural ability to recover. It suggests that trauma isn’t just stored mentally but also physically in the body's nervous system. By recognizing and safely accessing this energy, individuals can release trauma and restore balance. The book emphasizes that healing involves engaging with these bodily sensations, allowing suppressed energy to move freely and resolve unresolved shock or fear. It's a guide to understanding trauma’s physiological impact and offers techniques to facilitate a complete, embodied recovery process.
