Summary
Ph.D.Sc. Peter A. Levine: The Autobiography of Trauma - A Journey to Healing
This memoir by Peter A. Levine, founder of the Body Experiencing Method and bestselling author of The Tiger's Awakening, chronicles his personal journey of healing childhood trauma and creating his method. Levine shares deeply personal experiences - from childhood violence to dreams and visions that led him to healing.
He especially emphasizes his spiritual connection with Albert Einstein, which he later reveals as symbolic and familial, through his mother. He developed the method of bodily experience through animal behavior research, neurobiology and decades of clinical work, and only later successfully applied it to his own trauma.
The book shows his professional path, collaboration with prominent therapists and scientists, and conveys the message that everyone who suffers from trauma has a valuable story to tell. Memoirs are a call to hope and healing, based on deep personal and scientific insight.
Dr. Levine received his doctorate in medical and biological physics from the University of California, Berkeley, and his doctorate in psychology from International University. He has received four lifetime achievement awards and is the author of several books, including The Awakening of the Tiger, a work that has been printed in 33 countries and sold more than a million copies.
