About this listen
Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: Why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The listener is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

Narrators voice...
I love this book so thought I would get the audible version to listen to.
OMG the narrators voice makes it a painful experience. I actually can’t bear to hear it any further. It’s definitely a lesson to listen to the sample prior to purchase.

Shame about the awful narrator
The content is good. The narration is horrendous!!! How on earth an intelligence such as Peter Levine could let his work be narrated by such an irritating and wholly unpleasant voice is beyond comprehension.

Narration is off-putting.
This audiobook needs to be re-recorded with a different narrator. Found myself constantly zoning out due to the monotone, monotonous voice. Was also irked by the strange inflection and word emphasis.
Would be a great audiobook if re-done.

Great book, shame about the narration!
I really struggled to listen to this. The voice of the narrator was not to my liking at all. I managed all the way through because I’m studying Breathwork and needed to read this. Otherwise I would have given up early.

important for everyone
Maybe the most helpful book I've ever read/ listened to. Peter Levine covers the topic of trauma and healing in a really understandable way.

Excellent introduction to somatic experiencing
Great discussion about the normality of the traumatic response with lots of excellent observations about how well meaning clinicians might inadvertently calcify the traumatic response. Key observations about the importance of not making victimisation part of ones identity; how focus on recall might interfere with the necessary processing; how human capacity to override bodily reactions might leave people stuck with trauma symptoms; guidance on how to enable renegotiation of traumatic response; lots of exercises to use oneself or with others to increase interoception and process trauma. Very accessible. Excellent

A primer in somatic healing
Primordial. Quite short, but leaves you wanting to read and practice more. A good start.

I liked the narration
My chronic pain condition makes concentration difficult so I found the pace of the narration helped to make large amounts of information far more easily digestible.,
