Peter Levine's Secret to Releasing Trauma from the Body

I can relate. I don't remember a time when I've been generally happy. Not even as a child, and I'm in midlife now.

This is heartbreaking. Young people, full of hopes and promises, destroyed in human madness and absurdity.

Peter Levine’s empathy is the only thing more impressive than his clinical prowess. Simply incredible!

This is a brave a fight, too. While never a soldier, I encountered trauma and remembered that the body’s cells are replaced every 7-10 years, so I tried to stay positive and wait for all the cells holding trauma to leave. It’s been 9 years, and I’m almost fully recovered.

This man knows how to treat trauma and this is just the beginning of this field that is not taught in medical school. Gabor Maté is another physician who knows what trauma can do to you in your body, mind and spirit. I would recommend reading when the body says NO.

It is very difficult, I am from Syria, living in Germany, unfortunately my PTSD Trauma damaged my life, less concentration, I had depression, sure headache, panic.... I am still doing EMDR therapy, it is like a punishment for me,but don't have another chance, should continue the treatment to be healthy, I am trying to start my life once again, is not easy at all 🙏Thanks for all my doctors, I trust them, danke Deutschland 🌹🌼

What a HIGHLY sensitive, intuitive, observant man. God bless people who help others with their amazing gifts and knowledge. This was inspiring.

Man I really wanted to jump through the screen and hug this kid. I'm so disappointed in our system. I have a lot of respect for this doctor right here. For not only listening but actually hearing the needs of this young solider.

So 20 years ago...I was deeply affected by a sinister gaslighting husband...I didn't know what was wrong with me--I had changed from a free spirited,joyous ,loving girl to someone who couldn't sleep,developed twitches & jerks,suddenly had life threatening asthma,had become agrophobic,angry,afraid,alone,broken...I went to many doctors & counsellors...no one knew how to help...I was offered(but not prescribed antidepressants-because I refused them)...one doctor was trying to diagnose me with some kind of mental illness--(and I'm thinking of the soldier boy in the video now) when I said to the doc--"well,I guess it's normal I'm like this right? I mean after all my trauma...kinda like guys who come back from war zones-they can't sleep,suffer from stress,have physical symptoms"....and she said--"no,not necessarily"......what????..she was more interested in reporting about my "freelance hair" in her notes(I read them)...I hightailed the hell out of there.Something told me not to rely on the health professions-they are just too unprepared for real severe trauma & issues people have truly suffered in their lives.Thank you for this video...Dr Levine IS one of the rare health professionals who ARE prepared & able to deal with the suffering...God bless you Dr Levine with your work-TRULY helping others...and God bless this boy who has been through & seen so much.We need more HEALTH PROFESSIONALS trained in this!!!!🙏❤

I advise who want emotional releasing on any trauma to get back to it .. embody ur consciousness at that age and begin to write what do i feel and why? And fill pages of A4s write and cry what did u really feel? Write down for 9 or 6 or 3 days straight. And enjoy the results ur world will shift once you release it.

"Calling you back into your body" Wow. I really feel this. I was telling someone the other day that it seemed like I "left my body and was looking at myself with God" I was in no explosions or loss of consciousness either but I really feel this.

I have only recently seen the connections as they actually are in myself to trauma and the long term effects that they are having on me. The constant flash backs and my mind racing, the constant nagging fear and breathless panic attacks. The feeling of being so hopeless that I barely even live life but instead just exist. The more I listen to people like Peter Levine and Bessel Van Der Kolk the more I realise that there is relief and hope. My whole life all I have ever really craved is peace and balance in my life and now I think that I may have found a way to make things work......Peace to all.

This is literally saving my life, I have been going for a few months and the results are profound.

I had such severe childhood trauma due to having cancer and almost dying on serval occasions that I completely blocked it all for 20years. When I finally processed it all alot of my pain melted away and I got pregnant with a baby I was told I’d probably never have. Trauma has such an incredible impact on the body. Now I’m a reiki master teacher and also help people heal their trauma. I was blessed to have amazing pediatric doctors help me to live with the pain and trauma I endured as a child. This doctor is amazing!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is so important! And we should also understand that those of us who have never been specifically in traditional combat or war situation, also experienced trauma. The impact of any form of Early Childhood Trauma is the most prolific kind of trauma we experience. The stereotype that PTSD is reserved somehow for one group of people, keeps a lot of us in the dark about our own PTSD. Things like rape, incest, molestation, bullying, witnessing violence of any kind, being a child of one or more addicted parents, growing up in the projects in any kind of dangerous, violent neighborhood.

My Tourette’s symptoms have almost disappeared since I started somatic release. I was misdiagnosed many times before getting complex-PTSD years unnecessary pain due to misdiagnosis’. Peter Levine helped save my life!

What a smart therapist who is also kind and loving. The young man is an example of how old powerful men who will never go to war, destroy young men’s lives every day. For power,money and greed. If he continues to work with this therapist he will get better.

So beautiful! Such a gift this is to humanity. To those whose childhood homes were war zones as well. So grateful to you, Peter Levine 🙏❤️💃🏻

Hello. I have been recently diagnosed with PTSD from an emotionally and psychologically abusive marriage. When I'm triggered, my jaw clenches and starts to "shiver" I have trouble articulating my words. I'm very grateful for hearing about this technique and how coincidental for me that it relates to the mouth. Thank you and I am sharing bits of my story in the hope it can make at least one person feel less alone. 💓

This is amazing. I have cptsd. And for the first time in my life i have hope. I’m so happy for him.
