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 💗
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.
I was putting contact with the local smaller university near me and they had a program where masters degree students had counseling session appointments available for a small fee. I paid $25 per session. She was wonderful and wise beyond her years.
I absolutely agree with you. I have a lot of certifications I have life lessons. I have workshops, etc. but because I don’t have a bachelors and I’m not bilingual, I cannot help the kids that need help so badly and all they need is unconditional love and for you to show up every time you say, you will show up that does not take a degreeand that does not take a second language. It’s extremely frustrating. What DCF has done.
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.
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.
I suggested his book to my therapist and my therapist read it and did some training on it and now I am benefiting from this as well as his other clients. So great :)
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
Peter Levine is the most thoughtful, human, and intelligent person. He's so compassionate and cares so deeply about people. What a gem of a man and interview. Thank you for having him on, Max!
I said the same about Sebern Fisher. :) Read her book: Neurofeedback in the Healing of Developmental Trauma. I have been reading and listening to it since 2020! I have just finished Levine's autobiography. He is amazing.
Thank you! I have a significant amount of trauma in my life that has impacted my life on every level; emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, relationally, financially. I have read The Body Keeps the Score. Phenomenal book!! I'm excited to read your book and learn more about your work. Thank you, Max, for bringing on Peter.
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
one thing I'm taking away from this video is the bit where the interviewer asks why do animals don't get affact by trauma? because they don't overthink. that's useful to me, a good tip.
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.
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.
I absolutely love Peter Levine's work but I do think that diet - and proper nutrition - is just as fundamental when it comes to healing trauma as somatic work is (if not even more important). The nervous system needs nutrients & healthy fats to regulate itself and I always find it odd that this is never talked about in the trauma healing space - nor are the effects of caffeine and sugar on the nervous system - and it's ability to release trauma - ever mentioned. From personal experience a proper human diet is FUNDAMENTAL when it comes to healing trauma and probably even more impactful than body work.
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.
That loss becomes an integrated part of our life story. Sometimes “healing” is used as a way to say “forgotten” or “moved past” but with a death of a loved one, especially a child, we carry that experience with us forever. There will be a day when smiles, laughter and joy come back in and those emotions will live right alongside the grief and sadness. Healing is a journey and sometimes it’s about holding space for all of our human-ness (including exasperating emotions that come with grief). We can heal, but the scars may always serve as reminders of what we’ve loved and what we’ve lost.
Maybe eventually we could come to acceptance, but to lose a child, a loved one, it radically changes a person. That's when you need something to believe in. I'm sorry 🙏 for your loss. I send you healing.
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!
People with DID are highly hypnotizable. They also can have complete amnesia. If you're going to use this form of therapy make sure you have someone with you that you fully trust.
it is quite insulting to those of us that were beaten, abused, incestually used, et. al. to call getting yelled at, once. as a kid, trauma. some of us endured hell. this is insulting. get your own word - momma-yelled, that's a good one.
@thinkfloyd2594 Trauma is about our response to an event, not necessarily the event itself. Imagine being a young child, feeling safe, surrounded by family. Then something happened and every one of those safe people were all angry and yelling at you for a reason you might not even understand. That could easily cause trauma and remove the sense of safety around any loved ones. There is no need to compare traumatic events by saying one is worse than the other. What does that get you?
There is GREAT difference between someone who was beaten ten times and someone beaten 100 times by 3 different people. The amount and situation DOES matter. Maybe you mean the way to heal all of it is the same, but the one hurt more WILL have to work harder to get better. That should be acknowledged.
Someone else’s pain doesn’t invalidate yours, and your pain doesn’t stop someone else from suffering. It’s not a comparison or a competition. When you are belittling others and their experiences, it’s likely your feelings were ignored or punished when you were young. It’s “projection” and can be very useful in your healing journey. When you are willing to look at your own struggles, you are able to recognize that others are allowed to have them without feeling judgmental or dismissive.
I think what’s worse is saying your pain is insignificant because no one beat or molested you which traditionally has always been the model. There are a magnitude of things that can crush a child’s soul. I know what you mean and what happened to you sounds horrific. There are no Olympic awards for trauma, only wounded people.
Imagine spmeone was about to have their head chopped off at the age of 9 and then got beaten up ,sleeping outside ,no food ,no clothes. Teacher get you loughed at by other children becuase of the clothes. Then got raped at 19 ,got raped for many years and got raped again 2019 and 2021
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. 😂
Meditation, Breathe, yoga feel the feelings, compmetion prosess etc etc - but what about our language and "done prosess" ? That the real trauma isent it :)?
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.
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.
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.
I found this interviewer bored listening to Dr Peter and showed a lack of empathy when he explained his deepest trauma. Way too much ego here for me...😏
Kelli one thanks for posting this. I was trying to figure out why this bothered me and I think it’s because he seems arrogant. I don’t see him as a good listener but more of a talker and talking over….
You started off talking about science and psychology, and then you switched up into dream interpretation and talking to your ancestors, which is purely spiritual. So why not mention God? It’s like people in the society will talk about psychedelic drugs and how they reach nirvana and peace through them and shamans and whatever else but you guys are so afraid to talk about God. Anyways Allah says not to put any value on dreams or dream interpretation.

Please take a shower😂
Only a small amount of people have F U money but only you have F U hair.

There are discounts on Levine's certification when you work for a marginalized area, non-profits, and they have a scholarship fund.
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.
Have you tried working with a fellow student?
I was putting contact with the local smaller university near me and they had a program where masters degree students had counseling session appointments available for a small fee. I paid $25 per session. She was wonderful and wise beyond her years.

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.
I suggested his book to my therapist and my therapist read it and did some training on it and now I am benefiting from this as well as his other clients. So great :)
A modern day hero and mystic...love Peter and his work ❤
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
Thank you for the Voo exercise, from someone with frequent anxiety. It made a difference right away, so is a great example of somatic work.
I wish Peter could clone himself and become everyone's uncle next door.
Peter Levine is the most thoughtful, human, and intelligent person. He's so compassionate and cares so deeply about people.
What a gem of a man and interview. Thank you for having him on, Max!

Dear beautiful souls,
Sending love and light from my heart to yours 💟🦋🙌🪽♥️🌈🌺

Truely a healing journey.
Beautiful Peter and beautiful interview! Thank you for letting him talk about his profound work and life journey 🌊💙🌊
Thank you! I have a significant amount of trauma in my life that has impacted my life on every level; emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, relationally, financially. I have read The Body Keeps the Score. Phenomenal book!! I'm excited to read your book and learn more about your work.
Thank you, Max, for bringing on Peter.
I’ve watched many interviews & presentations of Dr. Levine. This is one of the Best!!! 👏🏼💕🙏🏼
Thank you God, there are people who care. And love. 🤗🙂🙏❤️
same concept of belly vibration/vagus nerve stimulation is in hinduism and yoga with OM chanting for million of years.
Can you do an interview about feelings of anger and furiosity. I am still getting mad over abusive and manipulative behaviour!
Im at the same stage, and its unknown territory for me, i would love to learn aswell!❤
Such an imfortative and fascinating interview, great healing energy. Thank you both 🙏❤️
What an interview. Thank you.
IVE BEEN SO TOUCHED BY THIS PODCAST TODAY. THANK YOU🙏 MEDITATION YES!!
I just realized that I re-traumatize myself all day long. It's really not healthy but I can't seem to stop.
What a gift to listen 🎉much grattotude to see life arc and the genuine apprecation to all who are healers to people and each other 🎉❤

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

I love this interview
The issues are in the tissues so true. Great talk really enjoyed it.
Hi Max! I just recently joined Audible and my first book selection was your Genius Kitchen. Looking forward to trying multiple recipes.
I absolutely love Peter Levine's work but I do think that diet - and proper nutrition - is just as fundamental when it comes to healing trauma as somatic work is (if not even more important). The nervous system needs nutrients & healthy fats to regulate itself and I always find it odd that this is never talked about in the trauma healing space - nor are the effects of caffeine and sugar on the nervous system - and it's ability to release trauma - ever mentioned. From personal experience a proper human diet is FUNDAMENTAL when it comes to healing trauma and probably even more impactful than body work.
Thank you!!❤
Dr Levine has very good intuition.
Awesome podcast, thank you. It is impossible to heal from the death of a child though.
So so sorry. That is not how it’s supposed to go. 😘
My heart can’t imagine the loss🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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.

Gabor Mates books are good so is Caroline Myss. Reiki could be helpful too.
SE is learning about your own PERCEPTION as in every somatic practice.
Excellent!

Did anyone catch the website?

My daughter breaks my heart continually. I now hate her. I feel so utterly betrayed.
Is she an addict??
I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
Do you really need a big tablet in front of you when you're doing interviews Lugavere?
Jesus Christ of Nazareth healed my trauma.
Huh? Are you special?
Amen!! Me too. Jesus heals!
some people their body has become their idol. Complete healing only comes when we acknowledge the Creator over the created
no memories of traumas ... just scared of ALPHAs : ) because i am peaceful -- they ARE NOT
Just one note . They didn't reallly go into th healing techniques. Just letting you know because I just spent one hour listening to the whole thing 😂
Ok, so this Einstein meetings was what? An vivid imagination during dinner at the restaurant or a dream? Or halucinations?
❤❤❤
Animals do capture trauma- ever met an abused dog?

Excellent. ❤️🩹
What was the exercise your somatic therapist taught you?
Wow. Wonderful interview. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you. 💛
