Peter Levine’s Secret to Releasing Trauma from the Body

As a therapist, you know the invisible wounds of trauma are often the most painful and difficult to heal. You want to help your clients repair their wounds, but nothing you try is healing their emotional scars.

In this video clip from his 2013 Psychotherapy Networker keynote address, "Trauma and the Unspoken Voice of the Body," trauma expert and bestselling author Peter Levine explains how the body stores the memory of a traumatic event. Featuring a clip from an actual session with a combat veteran, Levine then demonstrates an exercise for releasing trauma from the body.
