In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness by Peter A. Levine
5.0
4.5 rounded up
My therapist recommended this book to me after I mentioned an interest in somatic experiencing but that I was a little underwhelmed by [b:The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma|18693771|The Body Keeps the Score Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma|Bessel van der Kolk|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1594559067l/18693771._SY75_.jpg|26542319]. Like that one, this book is quite long, and a bit dense at time, but I connected significantly more to this one. I appreciated that, unlike some of my experiences with TBKS, it didn't feel like I was reading trauma porn, and I actually felt like the focus really was on how the body processes and releases trauma. Really fascinating read and I'd definitely recommend for those interested in the subject!
