Peter A. Levine
About this listen
• Shares the author’s personal journey to heal his severe childhood trauma as well as his breakthroughs on the path to create Somatic Experiencing
• Explores how he came to view Einstein as his personal spirit guide and mentor, only to discover a profound real-life connection to him through his mother
• Explains how the SE method is derived from the author’s studies of animals in their natural environments, neurobiology, and 50 years of clinical observations
In this intimate memoir, renowned developer of Somatic Experiencing, Peter A. Levine—the man who changed the way psychologists, doctors, and healers understand and treat the wounds of trauma and abuse—shares his personal journey to heal his own severe childhood trauma and offers profound insights into the evolution of his innovative healing method.
Casting himself as a modern-day Chiron, the wounded healer of Greek mythology, Levine describes, in graphic detail, the violence of his childhood juxtaposed with specific happy memories and how being guided through Somatic Experiencing (SE) allowed him to illuminate and untangle his traumatic wounds. He also shares the mysterious and unexpected dreams and visions that have guided him through his life’s work, including his dreamlike visitations from Albert Einstein, whom he views as his personal spirit guide and mentor.
Explaining how he helped thousands of others before resolving his own trauma, he details how the SE method is derived from his studies of wild animals in their natural environments, neurobiology, and more than 50 years of clinical observations. Levine teaches us that anyone suffering from trauma has a valuable story to tell, and that by telling our stories, we can catalyze the return of hope, dignity, and wholeness.

Why is this? “We are seeing the manifestation of collective trauma,” says luminary Thomas Hübl, who has reached thousands of people around the world through his teachings on mysticism and healing.

In this volume, Dr. Stephen W. Porges—the originator of Polyvagal Theory—presents a collection of recent writings that showcase the wide-ranging applications of the polyvagal perspective. The writings update the theory and delve into sociality, safety and threat, trauma, functional medicine, vagal nerve stimulation, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, addiction, compassion, management, and dance movement therapy. This newest volume of Dr. Porges's work demonstrates how adopting a polyvagal perspective enriches our understanding of biobehavioral processes in diverse domains.

Story
In Trauma and Memory, best-selling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps.

Story
Ever since publication of The Polyvagal Theory in 2011, demand for information about this innovative perspective has been constant. Here Stephen W. Porges brings together his most important writings since the publication of that seminal work. At its heart, polyvagal theory is about safety. It provides an understanding that feeling safe is dependent on autonomic states, and that our cognitive evaluations of risk in the environment, including identifying potentially dangerous relationships, play a secondary role to our visceral reactions to people and places.

Painful accounts of trauma told in the wrong tone.
Peter Levine continues his exploration of trauma's profound impact on the human mind and body. While his insights and research are invaluable, the narrator of the book fails to deliver the sensitive content in an appropriate tone, diminishing the gravity of such traumatic experiences described. Despite this, Levine's work remains a crucial resource for understanding and addressing trauma, offering deep scientific knowledge and practical applications. However, readers should be prepared for the intense nature of the material, which is conveyed with meticulous detail and should be approached with care.

Not about Trauma!
The title of the book seems misleading, as it focuses more on the personal details and events from the author's life rather than trauma. If you are seeking to heal emotional wounds, it might be best to save your time and money.

tales of a delusionsl narcissist who had dreams
Great drinking game to listen to and drink everytime Peter says something delusional or narcissistic. you will be drunk before you get through the first chapter. If anything he speaks of is grounded in reality it might be that Peter is bat s#$% crazy and comes from a family that was equally so. So painful and disturbing to listen to this natcissistic delusional drivel. Peter want you to see him as an enlightened visionary channeling ancient Celtic and Tibetan wisdom despite him stealing from his mentors most of the ideas he supposedly channelled from Einstein or the celts.
