Equal parts unfounded opinion and generally decent advice. Unfortunately they’re mixed together in such a way as to make most of the book a pain in the ass to read.

I get the impression that Levine is projecting his personal experiences heavily onto the subject and it colors his impartiality and credibility.

This book discusses trauma from a very biological and natural perspective. The author provides good insight, information, and techniques to use with clients in a way that honors our primitive instincts and flows with the universe.

Really enjoyed this perspective on trauma, and I am just dipping my toe into learning about somatic healing and the role of the body. It might have been a better one to listen to because it can be a bit of a slog to eye-read books like these. It’s definitely readable by someone like me who isn’t a professional but you have to be somewhat versed or interested in trauma and somatic techniques to be gripped by this.
