Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma - Peter A. Levine

 So much of this seemed hokey and ridiculous, but I don't believe I've ever had any trauma, so I can't be in a position to say what does or doesn't work to resolve such things. There were some components that rang true to me, like allowing your body and mind to go through the innate actions of processing an event shortly after it occurs. This makes sense to me. But re-enacting the event with a different outcome does not because the thing still happened. I guess it works for the same reason placebos work. 

I thought there were some useful components to the book, but I don't know that it was worth all the hype. Much of it was devoted to examples.
