I had a break through with just the two breaths of a psyc breakdown in 1997 was suicidal total personality break should've been hospitalized~ However sine of the experiences of the run away completely flight from my current life created many experiences that with my own recovering alone at home isolated except for very few visits with family kids, g-kids friend or 2 in phone & these connections on social media with Peter & a few Others who really know about healing COMPLEX LIFE LONG UNHEALED TRAUMA FROM WOMB TO BIRTH THROUGH UNTIL BEGAN SOBRIETY IN 1986~ GOOD RECOVERY UNTIL PSCH BREAKDOWN IN 1996 ~ 1997 HOW IT CAME OUT HERE NOW IN 2024 MAY 25TH ON internet with Peter was the 2 breaths While on my flight from my triggered abusive e life on 1997 I ran to childhood homes to SF Bay Area~ The 1st house was age 1 to 6 yrs. My hand prints are in the driveway cemetery. While visiting the house I saw the hand prints~ my entire being temem ered putting my little girl hand in the wet Venecia with my father. It was dated. I suddenly felt that I am REAL. I DID live here as a child. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED FREAKY DID HAIRBALL TO YOU A REAL CHILD HERE. THE FINDING OF MY HAND PRINTS IN THE CEMENT DRIVEWAY FROM AGE 4YR OLD BEGAN THE VERY LONG JOURNEY OF REMEMBERING MUCH IN MY HEAD BRAIN. HOWEVER THE HUMAN HEART IS THE REAL BOSS OF THE DATA MEMORY BANKS OF THE BRAIN IN OUR HEADS. THE MIND OF THE BEST IS CONNECTED TO THE SACRED SOUL . I BELIEVE THE VEGAS NERVE IS ALSO THE COORDINAT I R BETWEEN ALL THE THE HEAD BRAIN & MIND OF THE HEART& SEAT OF THE SOUL CONNECTING THE FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY. AN INFORMATION DESIGN CATALYST FOR THE MIRACULOUSLY CREATED HUMAN BEING BODY AS A WHOLE THEY WORK TOGETHER. I LEARNED ABOUT BODY MEMORY IN THE PAST DECADE FROM WORKING ALONE WITH ONE EMOTIONALLY & INTELLECTUALLY HIGHLY INTELLIGENT ADULT DAUGHTER & ONE CLOSER GIRL FRIEND~ SO AT MY 5TH DECADE OF LIVE 25 YRS INTO RECOVERY OF MY TRUE WHOLE SELF~ I BEGAN TO SLOWLY IGNORE THE FEROCIOUS EGO FILLED WITH FEAR LEARNED TO CREATE AN OBSERVER SELF DETATCHING MORE & MORE FROM JUDGEMENT OF EMOTION & THOUGHT ALLOWING THEN TO FLOW WITHOUT ANCHORING IN ATTATCHMENT TO THE JUDGEMENT THE LABELS OF GOD BAD RIGHT WRONG AND AT4 YRS OF AGE I'M NOW FINDING A MORE COMPLETE WHOLE HEALING OF RECOVERY OF THE REAL ME. THE LONG JOURNEY FROM THE HEAD TO THE HEART IS MOVING EVER SO CAREFULLY THROUGH THE TRAUMA MEMORIES THE BODY MEMORIES WHICH ARE SO UNCONSCIOUSLY SNCHORED

I would like to share some of the somatic exercises I do that help me feel more in my body and more connected and that have so miraculously enhanced my trauma therapy. 1. Stroke my arms up and down for a few moments. 2. Put one hand on my forehead and the other on my neck for a few seconds. 3. Softly massaging the point below my nose for a few seconds. 4. Rubbing my hands together until I feel some warmth and putting them onto my eyes or cheeks or jaw. 5. Tapping my whole body from feet to head. As I am suffering from trauma based anxiety I also do some exercises to find security in the present moment. For example: 1. Looking around in the room I am in and curiously noticing everything that's there. 2. Concentrating on the sensation of whatever surface my body is sitting or laying on. 3. Moving my spine like it was a water plant and thereby really feeling my spine Besides this and talk therapy I took in all information I could get about the polyvagal theory and about protection strategies that out brain develops unconsciously to protect us from further pain or even from reality. I also do guided TRE (trauma release exercise) on a weekly basis to further understand and regulate my nervous system. Furthermore I journal a lot and I thought back to what I loved when I was young and started doing that again. This is what really helps me - I hope this can be of any help or inspiration. Lots of love ❤

Even further, it's not practical in a real-world scenario. E.G. if I'm about to do a presentation and need to calm myself, there is no way I can do this exercise in front of the crowd, then proceed with my presentation. #2 E.G. if someone is robbing me, I can't do breathwork during the robbery and overcome my fear.

I didn't know that I've lived in my head and disembodied for decades, until I worked with a somatic experiencing therapist. That was transformative for me and helped me recover from chronic pain and befriend my body. The neuroscientist, Lisa Feldman Barrett says that the body doesn't keep the score. She says the brain keeps the score, the body is the scorecard. I'd love to see you interview her. It would be a fascinating juxtaposition to this interview with Peter Levine.

I don't think there is a real disagreement. Both Peter Levine and Bessel Van Der Kolk have clarified that when they say that trauma is stuck in the body, they mean that it's stored as a procedural memory in the brain so that the whole body keeps repeating the same reaction over and over again automatically.

I have a lot of childhood trauma that a lot of people all around the world have experienced. For example, abuse neglect abandonment. It wasn’t until I lost my partner in front of me in tragic circumstances that I realised that the Trauma and shock that I experienced has affected my body to the point where for a period of time of a about a year I could barely walk. My GP doesn’t understand that it’s all connected and kept sending me for scans with nothing coming back. It wasn’t until I started getting acupuncture, and doing Meditation to calm my nervous system that the chronic pain that I’ve had for four years has begun to subside. This is a brilliant interview and the world needs to be educated on how to severe trauma even from childhood can affect you as an adult physically.. I can’t believe that CPTSD or complex Trauma is not in the DSM five. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to this.

Any “Bad” Experience doesn’t necessarily have to be traumatizing. If the kid has a regulated nervous system then it’s likely to be able to process the stress caused by an event and live on without storing it. If the caretakers are traumatized however it is very likely that they will pass it on to their children as the child will copy the NS of the people it spends the most time with in the first 3yrs.

100% agreed. Regulation of the nervous system is paramount and the crux of the entire issue. If you can find methods to restore regulation, and get the brain to accept parasympathetic activation/ability to relax/release etc... amazing things are possible. The difficulty is convincing the brain that it is indeed safe to reactivate this parasympathetic response... because in order to do that..the brain has to register that it is safe enough to change states. This is why some people have negative responses to certain types of trauma interventions..because the nervous system is rejecting that change. This also explains why certain people do breathwork and feel zero change...or may even feel more anxiety..etc. All individuals that I have worked with that either have physical issues or trauma related issues have a phenomenal disconnect between brain and body.. even at a muscular level. This can most certainly be reprogrammed...but the disconnect is the reflection of the nervous system. The more disconnected.. the more intense the dysregulation and symptoms. Hope this helps anyone who is watched this and has not found the answers they are looking for.

I’ve heard it explained it before like, the stuckness of the trauma is not a cerebral, intellectual, cognitive thing - it’s not a puzzle or problem that Mind can solve (e.g. talk therapy). Insight alone might not be impactful. It lives in the body, and many of us are so disconnected, dissociated & almost ignoring or compartmentalizing what’s happening in our bodies. We may not have access to it unless we go and meet it there, which starts with attending, noticing, paying attention. I’ve heard Peter say that the physiological stress response needs to be able to be completed, because it’s sort of stuck frozen from the original experiences, mid-reaction, when it couldn’t resolve.

You know what's REALLY similar to the breathing exercise around 10:00? Mantra recitation. With experience there's an underlying low frequency vibration that goes along with the mantra, listen to a group of monks reciting mantra and you can hear it. And you and all sentient beings will get the benefits of the mantra recitation.

What a wonderful conversation. So much to take away. A form of healing for me is a class I go to called music and movement. A form of yoga somewhat. It’s in a beautiful yurt with amazing smells and wonderful people. We are always in a circle. And we move to all these beautiful songs and our teacher sings sometimes and by the end when we are moving slower and slower tears usually flood down my face. It’s a way of releasing all the stuck energy and letting it pour out of my body. I feel my nervous system just completely relaxing. It’s my non negotiable. 😊

What a lovely man!! I relate to the wounded healer archetype, but, not only for ourselves, but everyone around us and if we want to help others, releasing our own traumas is a must!! Luckily, I knew very early on through amazing therapists and healers how important working on the body was, especially as I went into freeze and disassociating as an abused kid from a dysfunctional and damaged family. Peter and Bessel are two of my hero’s 🙏

We need to learn to think ”both” instead of ”either/or”. By being able to go from body to mind and mind to body in therapy is invaluable. Some needs to start with the body, some are more helped with talking to begin with. But I would love for everyone to at least have the possibility to try the different approaches when seeking help. There are so many different therapies, and that is good. There is no size fits all. But we need to realize that it is not an either/or approach that will help. We are all humans with this fantastic body and mind. But we need to remember there is no divide. We are all of it at the same time all of the time. Thank you for a great interview!❤

It's unfortunate that the interviewer tried to intellectualize everything that Mr. Levine was sharing from a depth of presence & experience that far surpassed the thinking mind. I was SO touched & helped by this presentation. The boat story encompassing Einstein's appearance was awesome. Everything Mr. Levine shared was totally believable & people who are in "ascension mode" get this! I've had the same experience of people's doubt drowning out perfectly valid attempts to be helpful-- I can think of some linked to teaching EFT methods. FAR time to recognize that we're moving beyond the 3D to experience the miracles that can easily be experienced by believing. For believing is seeing, and not the other way around in my humble experience! What a beautiful human being this Mr. Levine is-- thanks for having him on your podcast.

Amazing content. I am autistic, have adhd, alexithymia and Ehlers Danlos..... in addition to life long trauma. No one seems to "want to" give you tools to work with to process a lot of this stuff. My body and mind are connected. To work on one without the other is so frustrating. This is the info I have been looking for to give me that extra help to help myself. God knows doctors seem to feel their ways are the ONLY ways to heal and if you fail to do so under their care, you are characterized as difficult and not willing to help yourself. Thank you for sharing this information. This is extremely helpful.

Insights in no particular order: 1) Peter is one of the most amazing humans alive today and I am so fortunate for his life and work. The sharing of his childhood trauma at the hands of the criminal underworld is shockingly tragic, and yet his transmutation of that energy into Bodhisattvic help for the world is shockingly positive in wonderfully disproportionate measure (for the good)! 2) meditation is only mental until stability is achieved at which point bodily Visualization (Many times with the seeds syllables) is employed as the Higher tantras. I believe that the “west” has inherited a toxic judeo-Christian shadow that the body is “wrong,” “fallen,” “to be disregarded,” etc. This is not present in certain traditions, as evidenced by their acceptance of sexuality, for example (Nor is any of this a strict Dichotomy, West vs East, etc.). 4) It’s well understand in certain eastern esoteric traditions that what is required for a connection beyond the body is an actual physical karmic connection whilst embodied: that criteria was fulfilled between Peter and Einstein. Though not the case here, the same connection is required between master and disciple for instruction in the inner realms, through the gate of death etc. 5) At this point in human evolution, the “scientific“ dismissal of internal states of being and spiritual experiences, etc., is shameful, archaic, and not even on par with exhaustive peer reviewed studies around, for example, near death experiences, meditation, and altered states of being. Peter’s Level of insight that these experiences of imagined or very real things should be honored in children, and implicitly All, is spot on (which one would hope is common sense, yet alas look at our societal dismissals of inner subjective experiences). 6) Peter speaks of psychedelics as though he does not have experience in doing them, respectfully. There is nonlinear, trans-mental (pre annd post), information to be gained from the plants as shamanic cultures have always known. While I do understand the point that it is not necessary to ingest psychedelics to become embodied “past” trauma, the successfully integrated psychedelic experience does have information for the recipient which, but for that experience, might not be encountered via traditional channels through the waking state. How else would I have come to know that I was a toxically anger consumed Native American called the “Skull Crusher,” in a prior life (You can call me a fool, I will remain unconvinced of it)? 7) beggars banquet is a whole vibe indicative of 70s Berkeley I’m from (and live) the Bay Area and this really resonates with me. You can still go over to San Francisco to the Hayes St.Grill where the owner of the Beggars banquet, Patricia Unterman still rules the helm (as of 2018, not sure now). She’s still makin them rich soups at home. I rant, I rave, I’m inspired, I love! ❤️

I watched and cared for my mother who died with a long and traumatic illness which was heartbreaking. Then similar happened with my father. For years I cared for them. Then my sister was suddenly diagnosed with esophageal cancer and went through a grueling treatment process from which she is wonderfully cured but maybe these are the reasons for my constant worrying of dying a traumatic death from cancer. So I need to try dr levines methods and I will read his book.

The being who met with me as I was choosing life over death, what the being said came true. I am now 65. I had 30 years of nursing career and especially in the cancer hospital I had a handful of patients who experienced a near death experience or and after life experience, even a man's father coming back to tell his son that everything was going to be okay as the son was living through stage 4 terminal disease.
