Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma

By Peter A. Levine & Ann Frederick
Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A. Levine & Ann Frederick digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Waking the TigerWaking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed.

Waking the TigerWaking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma Reviews

3.5
“muyyy interesante, tal vez si es repetitivo en la idea principal de el “trauma no resuelto”, pero creo que justo por eso, porque es lo principal y se me hace bien para recordarlo y entender todo lo que dice, neta entendí muuuchas cosas!!”
“This book had good insight into how animals react to danger and life threatening situations and are able to handle it in a way to avoid being traumatized. The Book guided how those principles could be applied to humans to help heal from trauma. It was insightful.”
