Summary:
The book introduces the concept of Somatic Experiencing, a therapy method for healing trauma by tuning into the body's innate ability to rebound from stress and trauma. It explores the physiological basis of trauma, offering a step-by-step approach to help individuals release pent-up "survival energies" and restore their well-being.
Key points:
1. Trauma's Physical Impact: Levine says trauma is both psychological and physiological, stored in the nervous system. If not released, this energy causes trauma symptoms.
