Simple Exercises to Overcome Chronic Pain | Take a Moment with Peter A. Levine, PhD

Dr. Peter A. Levine addresses a crucial missing factor essential to long-term recovery-healing the unresolved emotional trauma held within the body. With 45 years of experience studying and treating stress and trauma, Dr. Levine offers practical techniques to help individuals reconnect with their bodies and overcome chronic pain.
Throughout the video, Dr. Levine guides viewers through two simple yet effective exercises: the tapping technique and the muscle-squeezing technique. These practices aim to awaken the body's "felt sense" and restore a connection to areas that may feel disconnected due to chronic pain.
By gently tapping and squeezing different parts of the body, individuals can cultivate mindfulness and acknowledge each area, welcoming it back into a sense of wholeness. Dr. Levine emphasizes the importance of taking a gradual approach, especially in areas that are painful, and practicing regularly to foster physical and emotional healing.
