Publisher's summary

Healing the wounds of sexual trauma has long been considered by many psychotherapists to be one of the most challenging tasks a person will ever face. The good news, teaches Dr. Peter A. Levine, is that new and more effective tools are emerging. On Sexual Healing, Dr. Levine, a pioneer in the field of healing trauma, teaches you his innovative series of body-based practices to release the sexual trauma of your past. Join him to learn:

  • What new research reveals about the way we store the energies and memories of distressing events in the body
  • Understanding the signs of sexual trauma
  • How to create a "container" for your emotions and release them safely - without becoming overwhelmed
  • Gentle exercises to reconnect with your body and recover your ability to experience pleasure and joy

Your body has a natural process for healing trauma and restoring resilience in your nervous system. Unfortunately, few of us are taught to identify and allow this process to happen when it arises. Sexual Healing shares the principles and skills you need to restore your sacred inner space and move forward in your life with greater presence, focus, and passion.

Imagine if all of humanity understood violation

After listening to this book 3 times in a row so far, I have started to ponder how we as a species on this earth could create more loving environments for our sexual energy to be expressed so we are not using our energy to heal the violations.

Needed Awareness

Sexual healing is a long arduous process, full of angst. Dr Levine explains the process beautifully and and gently. My healing began a few years ago when PTSD seizures took over my life and forced out trauma memories. I was fortunate to find two wonderful Cognitive Behavioral therapists for group sessions with my sisters. I am told, once trauma happens it takes at least two years or more to notice healing. I began to notice when I got to boundary work. The publication brings the process home.

Excellent!!

Peter Levine is a blessing to us all! His work in healing trauma is changing lives every day. I have read / listened to his other books, (which are all amazing) but this work especially helped me put some missing pieces together. Healing trauma is tough work, but thanks to Levine and others like him PTSD is no longer a life sentence. Thank you Dr Levine for your vision and dedication.

Worth the read.

This book is full of good, practical advise. It's a ponderous, heavy tome but worth at least one listen.

Adult abuser help? ❤️

Anyone with perceptive anxiety could benefit from this book. It's difficult to listen to. The rampant issue of sexuality and children is addressed.

A very important and wonderful book

This is a very important and wonderful book.
Sadly, so many of us in our world family have experienced sexual abuse and few professionals are well equipped to support sexual healing in the world.
Peter Levine well understands and well supports sexual healing in our world 🙏
