Because trauma is not a disorder, it's not a disease, and it's been called that, but it is a wound.
Imagine a world where understanding how animals deal with stress could help humans heal from trauma. That's exactly what Dr. Peter Levine explores in this episode of Beyond Theory. Dr. Levine, a psychologist and best-selling author, dives into the fascinating differences between human and animal responses to stress and trauma.
His groundbreaking research in the 1970s led to the development of Somatic Experiencing, a method that helps release trapped energy in the body and complete the escape response, which is crucial for healing trauma. Dr. Levine’s insights are not just theoretical; they offer practical steps for anyone looking to overcome fixed beliefs and transform their perception of themselves and their lives. He also shares book recommendations and additional resources for those eager to delve deeper into trauma healing.
Whether you're a mental health professional, someone on a personal recovery journey, or simply curious about the science of stress and trauma, this episode provides valuable takeaways that can make a real difference.
