\\u201cTrauma is not so much what happened to us, but rather it\'s what we hold inside in the absence of that present\\u2026\\u201d

In this week\\u2019s episode of the SoulTalk podcast, I am joined by Peter Levine, a psychotherapist, author of Waking the Tiger, and Somatic Experiencing (SE) creator.

Over the past 50 years, he has developed SE, a form of alternative therapy to heal trauma and stress-related disorders, and then taught it to anyone who would listen. Peter has mentored thousands of therapists and healers across the globe. His drive and passion became a \\u201cJohnny Apple Seed\\u201d of spreading his knowledge to the world.

Today, Peter opens up about his childhood story and how it impacted his principles in life to develop SE. Discover his insights on trauma, healing, psychedelics, life lessons, and the importance of childhood experience for every human being.

So if you\\u2019re feeling overwhelmed for no reason, anxiety, severe nightmares, or anything that you think might be a sign of trauma, tune in to this week\\u2019s episode to find out and learn practical tips to overcome it!
