Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma

Author/Creator: Peter A. Levine

Waking the Tiger is a body-based resource for trauma healing, nervous system healing, somatic healing, grief and trauma recovery, and coping after loss.

This book helps readers understand why trauma can stay in the body long after danger has passed.

Through a somatic healing approach, Peter A. Levine explores how trauma and the nervous system are connected. The book offers language for understanding why the body may feel alert, frozen, or unsettled even after life has moved forward.

When grief, fear, or stress still feels held in the body, grief support can offer gentle guidance to work through them.
