In this episode, I share some reflections on Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine and the role somatic healing played in my own recovery from fatigue, digestive issues, and chronic stress.

I'll be honest it was not at all scripted, I just grabbed the book, and started talking about the insights that have shaped my understanding of healing, trauma, and the nervous system. I hope you love it.
