Resources For Trauma Resolution
I've cultivated this page of somatic experiencing and attachment based resource and techniques to help you learn more about your system and ways to resolve trauma.
In Waking The Tiger Peter takes you on a guided tour of the subtle, but powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, he utilizes a series of exercises that help you focus on sensations in the body. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.
In The Power Of Attachment Dr. Diane Heller teaches that "We are fundamentally designed to heal." "Even if our childhood is less than ideal, our secure attachment system is biologically programmed in us, and our job is to simply find out what’s interfering with it―and learn what we can do to make those secure tendencies more dominant."
In An Unspoken Voice Embodied with a theoretical framework and compelling case examples, Dr. Peter Levine blends the latest knowledge in biology, neuroscience and body-oriented psychotherapy to show that when you bring together animal instinct and reason, you can become a more whole human being.
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness”
