somatic experiencing and peter levine

Hi, guys, I woke with panic at 6AM this morning, running last night over and over in my mind... and body. I was tense as a board, with my heart pounding and the adrenaline wondering which trigger points to take up residency in. I thought I had debriefed with a colleague thoroughly before...

This is a great interview with Peter Levine by Alanis Morissette (yes, the singer/songwriter). She has a wonderful podcast, and I've enjoyed listening to them all (most are on relationship/connection). But this one seems like something people on this Forum will enjoy...

A lot of this is similar to some of the ideas Chickenbone has been posting about (btw, if you haven't read her posts I highly suggest you...

Hi everyone, Last night we had a terrific show for the podcast. I'll be posting the audio tomorrow, but let me just say that it was wonderful to be able to connect with everyone. Herbie returned after being away for a month or so, and it was so great to have him back. Herbie reported that he...
