A Favorite Theme Revisited - The Somatic Experience: Finding Healing at Home in Our Bodies with Peter Levine PhD Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. When we are unable to meet a difficult situation effectively we create protective strategies to keep ourselves separated from our wounded places. But in doing so, we are actually holding on to our trauma as part of our identity. And while it’s a normal part of the human condition to experience trauma, how we process trauma can lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or addictions long after the causal event occurred. To understand how past traumas can be transformed, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Dr. Peter Levine about his landmark work in using Somatic Experience therapy to heal trauma by replacing wounded memories with empowered ones. He shares the central tenets of his books on different types of trauma.
