by
Discover the body’s innate power to heal from trauma—the classic, life-changing guide to trauma recovery from the creator of Somatic Experiencing® (SE)
Unraveling trauma in body, brain, and spirit—a revolution in treatment and beloved global bestseller
In In an Unspoken Voice, renowned trauma expert Peter A. Levine, PhD, reveals how the body holds the key to recovering from complex trauma and experiences that overwhelm our nervous systems, from adverse childhood experiences to PTSD . Drawing on decades of clinical practice, personal stories, case studies, and trauma science, Dr. Levine shows that trauma can be healed—if we can learn to listen to our bodies’ innate, unspoken wisdom.
REVIEW: Peter describes in detail his own encounter with unexpected trauma and what happens to the body when trauma is not addressed. Fascinating science that makes sense. Highly recommend this book and have referred to it many times in various conversations with people who don’t understand what is happening to them physically due to PTSD and C-PTSD trauma.
