In An Unspoken Voice How The Body Releases Trauma And Restores Goodness
Book • 2010
In this culmination of his life’s work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist, and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma.
The book is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness, and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions.
It blends the latest findings in biology, neuroscience, and body-oriented psychotherapy to show how combining animal instinct and reason can help individuals become more whole human beings.
