In this culmination of his life's work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist, and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness, and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions.

An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are.

In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body.

The premise of Trauma and the Body is that, by adding body-oriented interventions to their repertoire, traditionally trained therapists can increase the depth and efficacy of their clinical work. Sensorimotor psychotherapy is an approach that builds on traditional psychotherapeutic understanding but includes the body as central in the therapeutic field of awareness, using observational skills, theories, and interventions not usually practiced in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war.

Louis Cozolino, one of our most compelling clinical writers, takes us inside the mind and heart of a seasoned therapist, carrying on the tradition of personal and professional writing begun in The Making of a Therapist. This book discusses some of the more abstract concepts and ways of interacting with clients, such as relaxed curiosity, finding the secret ally, and discovering the deep narrative. Also addressed are clinical concepts such as related states of mind, the process of change, free-floating attention, and listening with the third ear.

Summary
A practical, integrated approach for therapists working with people (both adults and children) who have been impacted by developmental trauma and attachment difficulties
Kathy L. Kain and Stephen J. Terrell draw on 50 years of their combined clinical and teaching experience to provide this clear road map for understanding the complexities of early trauma and its related symptoms. Experts in the physiology of trauma, the authors present an introduction to their innovative somatic approach that has evolved to help thousands improve their lives. Synthesizing across disciplines - Attachment, Polyvagal, Neuroscience, Child Development Theory, Trauma, and Somatics - this book provides a new lens through which to understand safety and regulation. It includes the survey used in the groundbreaking ACE Study, which discovered a clear connection between early childhood trauma and chronic health problems.
For therapists working with both adults and children and anyone dealing with symptoms that typically arise from early childhood trauma - anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, metabolic disorders, migraine, sleep problems, and more - this book offers fresh hope.
Critic reviews
“Nurturing Resilience offers a new map for navigating the process of healing from developmental trauma and skillfully incorporates the often-overlooked role of touch in repairing and restoring relational well-being. Written in clear, accessible prose and drawing on research across multiple disciplines, this book is a remarkable achievement by two seasoned and respected somatic practitioner educators.” (Rae Johnson, PhD, RSMT, chair of the somatic studies specialization in the depth psychology doctoral program at Pacifica Graduate Institute and author of Embodied Social Justice)
“Brilliant! Kathy and Stephen have produced a groundbreaking work that provides a deeper understanding of the interface between developmental trauma and mental and physical disorders and most importantly the pathways to their healing.” (Michael Ocana, MD, medical director of Kelowna Adolescent Psychiatric Unit and clinical assistant professor at the University of British Columbia)
“This book synthesizes the simplicity of our human quest for safety and connection with the complexities of our biological design. As vanguards in somatic therapies, Kathy and Stephen have trained thousands of therapists all over the world and are now graciously imparting their strategies for resilience through this gift of their combined wisdom.” (Christopher Walling, PsyD, president of the United States Association of Body Psychotherapy)

Decent but could be better
I am a clinical psychologist who read this book for professional development purposes.
The book does a good job of integrating a range of known psychological concepts (e.g., locus of control, transference) and applying them to developmental trauma in a fairly integrative way. The book also does a good job of introducing the reader to polyvagal theory.
What I was left a little disappointed by the practical use of this book. Yes it is full of theoretical content, but the practical guidance about applying this knowledge is left at a very vague level. This is somewhat helpful for informing broad level therapy, but it would have been much more useful to have included more hands on exercises and practice suggestions. It became frustrating when the author kept saying words to the effect of “there are many ways to achieve x” but was very light in detail when it came to covering these things.
So overall, worth a read for the theory, but when it comes to practical application, it is a fairly light touch.
The narration quality is not the best. It sounds robotic. This seems more to do with the recording quality rather than the skill of the narrator.

In Need Of PDF Files To Accompany The Audiobook
This audiobook was highly informative and easy to listen to. From my perspective, this book is a worthy successor to The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Vanderkolk. In that, it continues and deepens the discussion of trauma begun by Vanderkolk. Nevertheless, I don’t feel reading/ listening to The Body Keeps The Score is necessary in order to engage with this text. My review does come with one caveat though, I recently thumbed through a physical copy at my local book store and found there were several charts and graphs that were omitted from the audiobook. I feel these are important and should have been made available for download along with the audio files. I feel these omitted materials deepen the reader/listener experience and the knowledge that can be gained. I have purchased a physical copy for myself in order to address this in equity. If anything, I feel that speaks to the quality of the book itself.

Ten Stars!!!
As a therapist and someone who has experienced developmental trauma, this book was very illuminating. I was familiar with some concepts in the book - the ACE study and polyvagal theory, to name a couple. The information and concepts presented by the authors made so much sense, and was beyond what I’ve ever understood. I was really blown away by the “faux window of tolerance.” It made me see myself and my clients through a deeper, more complex lens of defensive accommodations. I found reading this book has called into question how I work with my clients, as well as my own healing path. I’m very eager to learn more. I feel like I’ve reached a fork in the road and my whole map has shifted! I’m looking forward to post-pandemic in vivo training. Meanwhile, I bought the paper version of this book so I can study it through reading instead of listening. I give my profound gratitude to the authors.

Usable Overview
This book provides a useful overview of facets of trauma, while fleshing out concepts like "foundational trauma" and "somatic shame". This could be an excellent companion to van der Kolk's Body Keeps the Score.

Great Book but...
This is an excellent book. Extremely in depth. No complaints at all on the content and would give it 6 stars. However, the narrator unfortunately reminds me of an artificial voice, I find their voice unpleasant and monotone. I find myself needing to turn it off after 20-30mins. For such an amazing book, I wish they'd found a better reader.
