Peter is incredible. Thank you for doing this interview. So important for us to know...and for hope to navigate our own and our world's issues.

[@user-zb8lz9vs2d]

I grew up in poverty, spent a lot of money on certifications and my degree -40 plus years as a body therapist and I can’t afford what I’m trained in. My wish is that mite generous scholarships are offered for those who wish to serve a community which is struggling financially these days -it’s traumatic not to be able to afford what I need. Love the work so so much-doing what I can on my own 💗

[@mustangjane77]

There are discounts on Levine's certification when you work for a marginalized area, non-profits, and they have a scholarship fund.

[@middleofnowhere1313]

It always seems to come down to money and lots of it. That's one of the reasons I'm kind of skeptical of all these therapy centers. Why are we told so loudly that we can't help ourselves? Idk man just something to consider.

[@sandramedina9482]

Have you tried working with a fellow student?

[@infinitedurr]

So happy to see you have Peter on. He's a true pioneer and legend in the trauma healing world. Such a beautiful man, and an absolute endless resource of wisdom on trauma healing.

[@ariana42]

I wish i can sit in a room and talk to Dr. Levine about dreams, personal experiences and life. I realized I followed him for years and the podcast is such a treat because it is more of his personal journey and not just a teaching, really appreciated

[@sherrilawrence662]

A modern day hero and mystic...love Peter and his work ❤

[@anetagola5985]

Such an interesting conversation with Peter Levine, absolutely love and admire his work! Thank you!💕🙌🏼Peter Levine is a wise, kindly, and gentle sage, clinician who understands trauma so well.

[@irmgardkuchernig1156]

Can you do an interview about feelings of anger and furiosity. I am still getting mad over abusive and manipulative behaviour!

[@irmgardkuchernig1156]

SE is learning about your own PERCEPTION as in every somatic practice.

[@nelliemoore3792]

IVE BEEN SO TOUCHED BY THIS PODCAST TODAY. THANK YOU🙏 MEDITATION YES!!

[@JessikaSchilling]

Dr Levine has very good intuition.

[@spiritjunkie1913]

Such a perfect discussion of an issue many of encounter personally or with those around us. Truely a healing journey.

[@kathyowen3847]

Max, YOU are a genius. A genius interviewer. I’ll refrain from including all my thoughts here. Just leave it at this. YOU did well.

[@havelife]

Awesome podcast, thank you. It is impossible to heal from the death of a child though.

[@SofDiane]

So so sorry. That is not how it’s supposed to go. 😘

[@Heiditopanga]

My heart can’t imagine the loss🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@JessikaSchilling]

I would like to believe that there is a way. Intuitively one of the ways to do is becoming a child yourself again. Having a patient “mom”, instead of being one. There’s probably no way around sometimes intense grieving for 5 years, but that’s not a life sentence. Remember your child didn’t die every two minutes, every day for years, in reality it died once, in your head it might die a million times.

[@reinab8168]

Einstein was in a re-occurring dream of mine when I was a kid.

[@irmgardkuchernig1156]

Thank you indeed for this interesting dialogue. I will definitely read P.Levine‘s autobiographical book. Inspires me to start my own story -weite-down. I read van-der-Kalk‘s THE BODY KERPS THE SCORE many times. It is rich and helped also a lot! Loved the conversation. Especially about the SHADOW. I already thought I am crazy! I see that too. I am also intuitive.

[@beatleme2]

hoping he'd talk about grief trauma - loss my wife of 13 yrs to cancer 8 1 23 was only 50 n it broke me with insomnia, lost my grandma my dad etc but how to let go n accept to carry on

[@eliottrodriguez7425]

Of all his books. Would you say this to be publish one in the spring is the most impprtant for soembody who at 57 has finally come to believe thru cognitive therapy that I still have a chance to heal. I've been told ad nauseum that I m a wounded healer. I'm in a rush to heal, yes continuing my cognitive therapy. But my body knows way more than my mind. For the childhood abuse was preverbal.i can't afford 2 therapist. So plase peter levine recommend one for an Intuit, who has the capacity to self healing. But don't know how somstically. My body has been screaming messages at me for years now. I need to help myself interpret them. I know I can do it cause for the first time I'm my Life I know I can. At 57 I still have a chance of of a significant contributing life. Please HELP! FOR FUN AND FOR FREE!

[@orest323]

from the einstein incident on his story becomes craaaaaaazy

[@RolferShannon]

It seems profound to say feelings aren't facts.( 1:08.10) Then follow it up with it sure feels that way. Isnt Somatics about interlinking the feelings and the thoughts giving them their own validation? Exploring more Shadow work would be quite helpful in this conundrum. 😂

Must be wide awake onguard behaviors. 😮😢😃😃😃😃😃🥰😍🤩🥰

[@jmchd5097]

To be honest there’s videos of trauma of people describing the symptoms the chemical reactions of the brain, but when it comes to tools, they don’t speak much.

[@annaynely]

While the Doctor's contributions to the field of trauma are evident still each of these doctors do it from their own experiences of how things worked out for them. We know today that many factors are involved in moving on from trauma & environment, societal structural violence affects segments & groups of ppl ( most vulnerable like the poor, black ppl, ppl with disabilities, ppl that endure social injustices etc) many of these therapists only concentrate on the individual & they don't take other factors into consideration.

Do you really need a big tablet in front of you when you're doing interviews Lugavere?

[@cathyjennings5580]

Conventional doctors & Dentist must realize their CLIENTS FEARS, HIGH CORTISOL 😢😮😢 BE ON GUARD WITH A COOL HEAD. CORECT???????? FEARS VS TRUST.😂❤

[@cathyjennings5580]

Shocked by some deep feeling of LOSS . SOME ONE DIED. OR SOMETHING OR PERSON DIED A TRAGETIC, LOSS. OR SOME ONE SCREAMED AT THE VICTIM. ANGERY MOM OR DAD AT THEIR daddy or caregiver Raged at a child in their lifetime. Having a baby is traumatic. Or see a tragic beautIFULL 😢deer killed by a BIG 🚚 TRUCK.

[@cathyjennings5580]

Doctors have traumatized their clients, patients; 😮😢 stunted. Stifled😢 Doctors & Dental dentists & HIGENISTS person is disrespecting their customers patients have caused traumatized them. Deficiency/ LACK OF CORDIAL, & POLITE BEHAVIORS. NO WAY ANXIETY EMOTIONS. FEARS. U KNOW??? 😮😢 DAILY LIFESTYLES RESPONSIBILITIES to manage.
