“Transforming trauma is a movement away from the vengeful desire to inflict harm on others, or ourselves, to a new place of renewal, hope and compassion.”
Trauma is healed through the process of discharging excess survival energy. We do this by uncoupling fear and moving out of immobility. Somatic Trauma Healing, as developed by Dr. Peter Levine, activates your innate mammalian ability to regulate and discharge the high levels of energy arousal associated with trauma. Just as wild animals are not traumatized by naturally occurring events in the wild, so we too can learn to track and release our autonomic nervous system.
