Trauma, Somatic Experiencing and Peter A. Levine PhD

[motionmay]

wow... i wish i could meet you. im doing my best to reach out and get help in my community, i had to move here to hide from my husband- once i felt like i was over it i wanted to use my energy to help others but the amount of fatalities i delt with was to much. i ended up with panic attacks tremors muscle twitches. i will look for your book

I had a surgery called pyloric stenosis (opening small intestine to stomach) when I was 6 weeks old back in 1973 but back then anesthetic could not be given to small children and infants so I was fully conscious but I cant remember a thing about it even though I realize that it does not really matter that I do! I have lived like a kind of ghost for 38 years and have no "real" life - I have no sense of what it is like to not be traumatized (no before to compare). Incessant thoughts ruin my life!!

@TIGDIF THAT REALLY SUCKS. 38 years is a really long time! Have you looked at TRE (David Berceli)?

[TIGDIF]

@nhiphop89 Yeah it does but I guess I have adapted to life like this. It feels like 10 life times sometimes but I dont know any other way - I don't and never have known what "normal/un-traumatizedl" is. I am and have tried to rectify it for many years but I have nothing to compare "real life" to. I have not heard of this guy, I will have a look at him. THANK YOU.

Peace.

@TIGDIF It's good you're aware though. I would try these therapies to start unraveling the mystery. It's never too late!

@nhiphop89 Thanks.

I am so, so impressed with his work...As I am a documentary filmmaker on PTSD - I finally have found my God...Dr. Levine is my new truth source...

[ironjohnlad]

Peter Levine is amazing. I am a therapist and use somatic experiencing, Mindfulness, and Focusing and experiential psychotherapy to help people who have been traumatised. His ideas and teaching are brilliant. !

I'm working with a therapist trained by Levine to heal serial trauma stress I incurred from surgeries and an accident. His work is highly respected and it works. It's beautiful. Though it is best to find an SE therapist, not everyone can afford it or has coverage. Check out Levine's book that includes a photos & a CD with his instructions. Incredibly effective. (I think its called Healing Trauma)

@merylste David berceli does similar therapy but he developed generic method that can be learned from a book

[nhiphop89]

@merylste Hey I had surgery too that I'm trying to get help for. Cool stuff!

If I were to ever get a couple portrait tattoos it would be of Peter Levine and Carl Jung. :-)

This man's work is going to save my life.

The portion of this video that addresses anger (with the fist making) is covered quite eloquently by Stanley Keleman.

Thank you so much!

Dr. Levine's book- "Waking the Tiger" is one of the most important works ever written.

Good to see his vids here.
