Waking the Tiger By Peter A. Levine
Feb 12, 2024 
Waking the Tiger by Peter A. Levine is a transformative exploration of trauma and its healing process. Levine presents a fresh perspective on trauma, viewing it as an injury rather than a disease. He observes that animals in the wild, despite facing constant threats, rarely experience trauma. By understanding their resilience, we gain insights into human trauma. Levine’s approach, known as Somatic Experiencing, offers a pathway to healing.
It focuses on bodily sensations, emphasizing our innate capacity to self-regulate intense emotions and arousal. just as an anthropologist immerses in a foreign culture, Levine guides us through the subtle impulses governing our responses to overwhelming events. By heightening awareness of bodily sensations, trauma can be healed. Translated into 24 languages, Waking the Tiger has become a global resource for those seeking understanding and restoration.
