Product Description
Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma...

Waking 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 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.

A book you need to read June 6, 2009

Very few people know what happens to our bodies in the "fight or flight response". Understanding the survival response may change your life.
Dr. Peter Levine is a brilliant thinker and researcher. Everyone needs to read this book! We all experience stressors that can affect our life.
With all the chronic disorders people may experience, this is hope to heal.

If you have, or want to understand P.T.S.D.,
this book is right-on. The animal world understands better than we do
how to deal with the aftermath of extreme stress; this book gives insights you'll appreciate.
