Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma...

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

reader 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.
