Sexual Healing: Transforming the Sacred Wound

It is an excellent aid to understanding and healing old wounds.

Peter Levine has created a high quality product once again. I love his warm, nurturing voice and easy-to-understand teachings and practices. For those of you who don't know, Peter is considered a master in the field of healing trauma. I'm a psychotherapist and I shared part of the CD with a client today who experienced sexual abuse as a child. She liked it a lot, and wants to listen to more of the CD next visit.

I'm finding this CD enormously helpful. Although the stated topic is sexual healing, anyone traumatised by anything could potentially resonate with what's being said. Peter Levine is an accomplished teacher. His explanations of the causes of PTSD and his suggested physical exercises are both great. Even if you're too ill with PTSD (and resultant other illnesses) to actually do the exercises, imagining you're doing them seems to work just as well. When I first discovered Peter Levine through his book In an Unspoken Voice, I felt his ideas were actually saving my life. I'd known for a long time that I had certain issues resulting from a string of profound and various traumas dating back to early childhood. Throughout my reading of Peter's intelligent, incisive, compassionate writing, I diagnosed myself with PTSD, gasping in recognition at every page: highlighting particular sentences, stopping to applaud, then going ever deeper into the text and myself. Previously, in common with many others, I'd been misled to believe PTSD was some kind of mental aberration experienced only by the weak and blameworthy. It's so very sad that many are still suffering from this appalling misunderstanding, engaged in talking therapies which can actually re-traumatise them, while having little or no positive impact on the underlying causes of their condition. To discover the truth that PTSD is a physical injury to the central nervous system caused by the undischarged energy of an interrupted survival instinct is to have my hope of recovery ignited and constantly fed. I do need to re-emphasise Peter's 'health warning' about the work. It's helpful to have some support from friends and/or family - professional too, if necessary. And I've learned to take things slowly and respectfully, ever mindful of the incredible intelligence and courage of my body on my healing journey. I'm learning a new language, that of my "felt sense" and am not yet completely bilingual. I hope you enjoy this CD as much as I do and that the word gets out about the reality of PTSD, so more and more people can find inspiration and recovery from this most debilitating injury.

This may be an older work but very valuable
