Waking the Tiger by Peter A. Levine Ph.D. (Author)

The classic, life-changing guide to trauma recovery—tap into your body’s innate ability to heal, from the creator of Somatic Experiencing® (SE)

For anyone seeking body-based tools to heal from trauma—like complex PTSD, developmental trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and more

For nearly three decades, Waking the Tiger has reshaped how we think about—and heal from—trauma. Dr. Peter A. Levine, the visionary behind Somatic Experiencing® (SE), introduced a revolutionary concept: trauma is not a flaw, but a natural process that, when properly supported, can help us self-regulate and lead to profound healing.
