Summary
• Shares the author’s personal journey to heal his severe childhood trauma as well as his breakthroughs on the path to create Somatic Experiencing
• Explores how he came to view Einstein as his personal spirit guide and mentor, only to discover a profound real-life connection to him through his mother
• Explains how the SE method is derived from the author’s studies of animals in their natural environments, neurobiology, and 50 years of clinical observations
In this intimate memoir, renowned developer of Somatic Experiencing, Peter A. Levine—the man who changed the way psychologists, doctors, and healers understand and treat the wounds of trauma and abuse—shares his personal journey to heal his own severe childhood trauma and offers profound insights into the evolution of his innovative healing method.
Casting himself as a modern-day Chiron, the wounded healer of Greek mythology, Levine describes, in graphic detail, the violence of his childhood juxtaposed with specific happy memories and how being guided through Somatic Experiencing (SE) allowed him to illuminate and untangle his traumatic wounds. He also shares the mysterious and unexpected dreams and visions that have guided him through his life’s work, including his dreamlike visitations from Albert Einstein, whom he views as his personal spirit guide and mentor.
Explaining how he helped thousands of others before resolving his own trauma, he details how the SE method is derived from his studies of wild animals in their natural environments, neurobiology, and more than 50 years of clinical observations. Levine teaches us that anyone suffering from trauma has a valuable story to tell, and that by telling our stories, we can catalyze the return of hope, dignity, and wholeness.

Amazing honest insight into Peter Levine’s own life
I did not get on with the narrator. It sounded really forced and the intonation just didn’t seem natural which can be really off putting. The content was amazing though, I just wish I could have read the book instead! Amazing insights into Peter Levine’s own life and the origins of SE. Particularly enjoyed his explorations into other cultures and how trauma is held with importance.

Incredible book
So well written. I particularly liked the part regarding the Navajo First Nation soldiers who were in the 2nd world war and how they ensured their trauma was dealt with before they returned to their family after combat. Fascinating stuff throughout the book. The author is so knowledgeable and yet so humble.
