Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma

By Peter A. Levine

Experiencing anxiety, insomnia, or depression may be the effects of trauma. This book, among other things, explains that the body’s instinct is the healer that helps us move beyond trauma. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. This book provides a guide to the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern human responses to overwhelming life events. It also includes a series of exercises that help readers focus on bodily sensations. The premise is that through heightened awareness of these sensations, trauma can be healed.
