Understanding Trauma and Recovery
Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma
Waking the Tiger is a classic in trauma recovery work. It offers a new and hopeful vision of how to treat trauma by exploring and answering the question: why are animals in the wild, though often threatened, rarely traumatized? By exploring this question, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. This is also a great introduction into what “Somatic Experiencing” is.
