**The classic, life-changing guide to trauma recovery—tap into your body’s innate ability to heal, from the creator of Somatic Experiencing® (SE)

**For nearly three decades, Waking the Tiger has reshaped how we think about—and heal from—trauma. Dr. Peter A. Levine, the visionary behind Somatic Experiencing® (SE), introduced a revolutionary concept: trauma is not a flaw, but a natural process that, when properly supported, can help us self-regulate and lead to profound healing.
