Curar el trauma

This work, which was out of print for years and finally returns to readers, offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It shows us the "human animal" as a unique being, provided with an instinctive ability to heal and also with a mind capable of taking advantage of this innate ability. Dr. Levine asks and answers a very interesting question: why are wild animals that are often constantly threatened almost never traumatized? Understanding the dynamics that allow an animal to be virtually immune to its symptoms will allow us to unlock the mystery of trauma in humans. This work gives us a new perspective on the symptoms of trauma and the steps necessary to heal it, and offers us a broad view of the subtle but powerful impulses that govern our responses to the overwhelming events that can occur in our lives. To achieve this, he uses a series of exercises that help the person to concentrate on the sensations that the body transmits. Because it is through heightened awareness of those sensations that we can heal.
