<p><span>Welcome back to Therapy Chat! Today I'm bringing you a replay episode with Dr. Peter Levine.</span></p><p>Dr. Peter Levine is the developer of Somatic Experiencing, who speaks about his journey as a wounded healer. He shares that by being open about our experiences healing, our authenticity allows others to know they're not alone. None of us in the helping professions have been immune to suffering, it's a part of the universal experience of being human; and there's no shame in having experienced trauma, no matter who you are. In our conversation, Dr. Levine shares about how he developed Somatic Experiencing, and the surprising muse he found during that process. He discusses his violent childhood growing up in a family which was under threat by the mafia, and how Somatic Experiencing approaches healing from trauma "stuck" in the body.</p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><p>Learn more about <a href="https://traumahealing.org/" rel="nofollow">Somatic Experiencing here</a>.
