Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: Why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed.

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.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Story
In Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction - for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested.

Publisher's Summary
Unraveling trauma in the body, brain, and mind - a revolution in treatment.
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 in the body, brain, and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice 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. Enriched with a coherent theoretical framework and compelling case examples, the book elegantly blends the latest findings in biology, neuroscience, and body-oriented psychotherapy to show that when we bring together animal instinct and reason, we can become more whole human beings.

Great book, poor performance
This is an important and helpful book. I recommend it highly for the contents. The narration of the audio book, however will be very distracting for anyone who cares much about words. He reader seems not to have been familiar with much of the author’s terminology, and the producers of the audiobook seem not to have wasted much energy editing the performance. It really is a disappointing flaw in an otherwise valuable book.

Great content! Confusing narration.
I found the information in this book incredibly useful in my practice. I enjoy Peter Levine's approach and all of the insights into trauma.
My largest critique is of the narrating. I much prefer the books that Peter reads for himself. It adds great texture to the experience.
Ed is not a mental health professional, therefore made some confusing interpretations of the words "viscera" and "id" (from Freud's id, ego, super ego theory). Each time he made the mistake, I had to double take, rewind, and internally correct the mispronunciation so I could understand the content. I recommend a revision that corrects these mistakes. They are significant.

Great story. Needs a new narrator.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ed Nash?
someone that can pronounce the words. He read to fast like he wasn't even reading the book. It was hard to listen to. Esp. every time he mispronounced Visera. It's almost on every other page and It was painful.

Ed Nash shouldn't be reading audio books
...and who ever directed this reading was out to lunch at the very least. What a mess!
Viscera. Say it: vis·cer·a, emphasis on the vis. This word is used almost every page in this book and he never figures out how to say it. And viscera is not the only bizarre mispronunciation.
Then there is punctuation. Mostly ignored. Headings? Just run them into the next sentence. Comas? Ignore or treat as periods.
I will never buy another book read by Ed. Ed need to find another line of work. He almost manages to ruin this otherwise brilliant book. There were a few sentences where he did so much creative pronunciation that I wasn't sure it was English.

Excellent, in-depth
This work beautifully builds on Peter Levine’s book ‘waking the tiger’ with new insights and latest research. He provides an excellent review of our brain’s evolution and function and how we adapt and struggle with the effects of trauma as well as the stresses of disconnection in modern life. By trusting our body’s innate intelligence and guidance, we can come back to feeling whole again - there is hope for all sorts of trauma through working with the body. Very inspiring !
The audio version is challenging in places where the narrator struggles with medical and foreign words that are spoken can’t be recognized—it would be nice to fix that so the listener can understand the message.
Overall a great book!

Going deep in understanding body and reactions
This book has an AMAZING content! It is powerful, deep, truthful, relatable. I will study this book over and over (in print, though).
The audio voice is awful! The reader is not connected with the content, he sounds soo superficial and like he doesn't understand what he is reading. He may work for other superficial books, not for this type of book. I literally listened to this book twice at least because even the way he was reading was so hard for me to understand mainly because it felt sooooooo disconnected and foreign. It was almost like re-traumatizing for me because I had to listen about 4 times to be able to get over the voice and just focus on the content. I was sooooo easily tuning out with this voice, and I had to repeat and repeat forever every chunk. Also, he makes no pauses and it hard when he is starting a new topic.

Dr. Levine's healing insight is long over due.
I have to praise Peter Levine for his insight of relating human trauma to other species. Obviously there would be a link; evolution can only build on structures already available. Add this to the understanding that the human body is a complex system within systems. That is, the body-mind relationship is just as important as knowing what a condition is or how to treat it. While this book does not read in an entertaining manner, it was not designed to do so. This is a learned man explaining a big discovery. I read and listened to it because I want to know more about a baffling, confusing, and scary "dis-ease". Now that we know what the condition is we can fix it. And that powerful message is shared by Mr. Levine. I will always be grateful to him for opening a gate to freedom.

Remarkably thorough
I’d say I have more background knowledge than the average bear, but this book left me a) filled with new knowledge, and b) wanting MORE. There are a lot of sections where I replayed repeatedly in order to really understand, because I’m highly visual and would need to reread if I were reading a textbook. That being said, I believe this is THE textbook on trauma. I went and purchased Trauma and Memory in paperback just to keep my learning going. I anticipate listening again and again. I only wish I had the print version of this too.

Not easy to listen to, but interesting.
The reader reads at quite a pace and inflection isn't prevalent, he doesn't pause enough between sections, so you feel you're in for a listening marathon. The book needs very careful listening, and the car sticks are really interesting. I ended up buying the hard copy too and the language is easier to read yourself.
The exercises to release conflicted muscle remains are helpful and I'm slowly giving them a go.

We are all traumatised by life. Not being a victim of it and learning to see our body as a vehicle for life, not who we are is key. This book is scientific, evidence based and usable by the average person too. I learnt so very much.

Know thy body... know thyself.
I am no academic... and so tired of the multiple theories on ‘think better do better’ ideas or that ‘lie on a couch’ magically fixes the inner you. As for what I term “multiple dead men’s theories”, can’t all differ so much yet all be so renowned that closes me down from wanting to read on.
By comparison this I found brilliant, engaging me from the beginning through recounting his personal experience re his accident, responses, how different “first aiders” meaning well by their aura, words or actions either allowed him to feel comforted, or not.
Papers backed up not by theory alone, rather how a patient responded verbally, physically. How doing so in a safe space investigate their body reactions, emotions in relation to an event, situation. And likewise the reinforcement from Peters earlier accident, responses over the course of his healing.
Most importantly Man is part of the animal kingdom & thus under a variety of circumstances, often instinctively to what feels right to the individual at the time. This area I personally found intriguing. As too the body-mind connection, the role of emotion, awareness, consciousness, as too , rationale.
Personally I enjoyed the whole book, examples & self awareness exercises.
Additionally I enjoyed various theories. How they came about. How their protégés refined or diverted in another direction. Wished I had read this, rather than attending some of my lecturers drone on. Just goes to show, interest opens minds enabling curiosity to explore, even ones own challenging moments. Depending on approach.
A great treasure to refer in the future re exercises, reasons.
Anyone who wants to be more aware why they do the things they do.Certainly during lockdown. External turmoil, inner balance can be found through this read.
