Healing Trauma ─ Restoring The Wisdom 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 Dr. Peter A. Levine. On Healing Trauma, this respected therapist and teacher brings you face to face with an effective new treatment - not a "talking" cure, but a deep physiological process for releasing your past traumas. Medical researchers have known for decades that survivors of accidents, disasters, and childhood trauma often endure lifelong symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to unexplained physical pain. As a young stress researcher at UC-Berkeley, Dr. Levine made a remarkable discovery: that all animals, including humans, are born with a natural ability to rebound from these distressing situations. On Healing Trauma, you will learn Dr. Levine's four-phase method of somatic healing. You will learn how and where you are storing unresolved distress, how to become more aware of your body's physiological responses to danger, and specific methods to free yourself from trauma. Now you can learn to address unexplained symptoms at their source - your body - and return to the natural state you were meant to live in, with Healing Trauma.
