Simply Genius

My favorite definition of genius is taking something complex and communicating it in a simple manner so that many people are able to understand the complex subject.

I believe that Peter has done this with the subject of trauma and healing of trauma.

Very insightful, creative, and inspiring.


Ideas resonate with what I've learned through experience

This is a great book for anyone who has been through trauma and is fighting their way back. Or for anyone who is loving someone through this.

I have been working through my 'stuff' for years, and when I came across this book, it just made everything click. The times I've trembled and shook out of anger, and fear, and shame - those have all had tremendously healing impact - and now I understand why!

It also relieved my 'mental' side, which likes to know the WHY of everything. This gave insight into how the body responds to trauma, and WHY.

Extremely Helpful for Trauma Survivors

I'm the webmaster of PTSD Today. I found this book too be very helpful for me in understanding my own PTSD. It has exercises all through the book.

The books's focus is on the trauma suvivor and healing and it does just that. I recommend this book to other survivors.


a surprise

Waking The Tiger is written in a simple, easily understood language that really manages to effectively pack the punch in the intellectual department. Most self-help books fall victim to so many cliches and buzzwords, but what we have here is a genuinely thoughtful, inspired discourse on the dimensions of trauma and the hopefulness of getting through to brighter days.

Even more powerful is the gradually influential effect of the chapters as they bring you closer and closer to actually experiencing the joy of gaining knowledge about the subject and getting over it.

Surprisingly useful and enjoyable book!

Intriguing

The author elaborates the often forgotten aspect of trauma, that is, freezing or immobilization. All too often modern medicine/psychiatry emphasize the "flight or fight" response while neglecting the freezing response. In doing so, Levine corrects an important imbalance in our current theories and practices on treating trauma. I found this book well worth reading, but I wish the author had provided more clinical examples of how he works with clients who have been traumatized. Had he given more "how-to" clinical information, I would have rated the book 5 stars.
