Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma de Peter A. Levine

Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma

Autor Peter A. Levine
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 1997

Imaginați-vă o gazelă care tocmai a scăpat de atacul unui prădător: după ce pericolul trece, animalul tremură violent pentru câteva momente, eliberând energia acumulată, apoi se ridică și își continuă viața ca și cum nimic nu s-ar fi întâmplat. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma folosește acest mecanism natural pentru a răspunde unei întrebări fundamentale: de ce oamenii rămân adesea captivi în traume, în timp ce animalele din sălbăticie par imune la simptomele post-traumatice? Suntem de părere că abordarea lui Peter A Levine este revoluționară tocmai prin simplitatea ei biologică, mutând accentul de pe analiza psihologică pe reacția fiziologică. Observăm că Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma nu este doar o expunere teoretică, ci un ghid structurat pentru redescoperirea corpului ca instrument de vindecare. Organizată în secțiuni care explorează „Planul Naturii” și misterul energiei blocate, cartea culminează cu introducerea metodei Somatic Experiencing®. Cine a studiat Healing Trauma va aprecia aici profunzimea contextului teoretic, în timp ce cititorii familiarizați cu In an Unspoken Voice vor regăsi fundamentele pe care autorul și-a construit întreaga carieră. Spre deosebire de alte lucrări care se concentrează pe memoria cognitivă, Levine demonstrează în secțiunea „Giving the Body Its Due” cum exercițiile de conștientizare a senzațiilor pot „dezgheța” răspunsurile noastre instinctive. Această lucrare ocupă un loc central în opera autorului, fiind puntea de legătură către titluri mai specializate precum Trauma-Proofing Your Kids sau Trauma and Memory. Prin normalizarea simptomelor traumatice și transformarea lor din „sentințe pe viață” în răni ce pot fi vindecate, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma oferă un traseu clar pentru oricine dorește să își recapete echilibrul interior prin ascultarea înțelepciunii propriului organism.

Extras

From Chapter 3: Wounds That Can Heal

When a young tree is injured it grows around that injury. As the tree continues to develop, the wound becomes relatively small in proportion to the size of the tree. Gnarly burls and misshapen limbs speak of injuries and obstacles encountered through time and overcome. The way a tree grows around its past contributes to its exquisite individuality, character, and beauty. I certainly don’t advocate traumatization to build character, but since trauma is almost a given at some point in our lives, the image of the tree can be a valuable mirror.

Although human beings have been experiencing trauma for thousands of years, it is only in the last ten years that it has begun to receive widespread professional and public attention...

“[Waking the Tiger] is an excellent resource for those who have been traumatized or know someone who suffers from trauma, like a soldier returning from war. Finally, there is help that doesn’t ask us to relive what happened and re-experience the pain. Instead, it follows the body’s wisdom in its search for renewal and healing.”

Descriere

Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma...

Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed.

Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.
