- Traumatic memory is unique in the way it can often live on in the physical and cognitive patterns that a client might develop after a traumatic experience. And in many cases, the very response that may have kept our client from harm can now also be keeping them from healing.
That's why in this video, Peter Levine will share his strategies for working with trauma stuck in the body, including a profound story of healing trauma trapped in the body of another trauma expert - Haim Dasberg.

I've been into Vipassana Meditation for thirty-five years. Vipassana allows the meditator to focus into every area of the body. Every area of the body responds to this with a sensation, much of it unpleasant. It is as if the direct, pure focus is resisted or forced back by an alternative force that does not want itself looked at. It reminds me of similar poles of a magnet resisting the same polarity. This results in various reactions, sometimes so sudden that the body gives out a yelp, cry, groan, or even a whimper. The theory is that pure attention, from Real Self's (the impartial observer) internal gaze is dissolving the traumas held within.
But it doesn’t
@@ilikedogs870 😂 why?
@@aramisra4750 why doesn’t it? Is that what you’re asking?
@@ilikedogs870 Yes, you mean meditation won't heal stored trauma?
@@aramisra4750 no, it categorically will not.
I will try it, thank you for sharing.
I am the only survivor of a family of 10, the majority of them ended their own life; not able to integrate the pain of traumas.
But that's it, I am just a survivor with a very chaotic life and I try my best to improve it .
With new knowledge, sciences and technologies; I am creating the best version of myself.
Thank you for helping us understand the implications of trauma.

Blessings and healing unto you 🌹
Hope you're doing well. There's much love for you here! 🙏 💚💙💛💜
@julielabelle2738, what I have learned is that our soul designs the experiences so we can see the patterns and heal them. The question is why would my soul design such an experience? This can lead to many insights and soothe your heart.
I was listening to the Gold Tara mantra for the first time yesterday. I was amazed at the deep level of relaxation the frequency induced, lower than normal alpha I should say. It was deeply soothing and I knew I had found a heaven. Then suddenly very traumatic memories started coming up. One, of childhood sexual violence, two, of childhood physical abuse. My mind was disturbed and I wanted to stop the music but I kept listening on, telling myself it is healing me by bringing up deep traumatic memories and releasing them. 🌴🌷🙏
@sadiaarman363, yes when we feel comfortable and safe, the nervous system can unwind and bring to surface what's been deeply buried. This is all energy that needs to be freed. We free it in Love, in our heart - that starts the completion of the healing process.
Could you direct me to the particular Gold Tara mantra video you listened to?
This “going in to explore” is the very basis of the Focusing technic, designed by Eugene Gendlin and then developed in several directions. 🙏
How much quicker could we heal if we keep getting better at putting the pieces together of experience, body responses, and emotions!! Thank you- will pass this on to others! 💜💜
Yes, it is about connecting the dots - this gives a huge relief.
Don`t forget the thoughts because they ignite all that and it goes in circles.
I experienced a very traumatic incident as a child at age 12. I am now 63 and still living in the aftermath. Fear is a huge factor. I think it wore out my adrenal glands . Than 3.5 yrs ago my husband passed away suddenly.I HAVE tried different things throu the years but still needing help.
@deemh60, fear can be very powerful and is the oldest and densest energy. I learned in my training that fear is lack of Love. The fear that continues to come up is ready to know Love. And in love, in our heart, where it is freed and expressed as its highest vibration, Love.
Peter is so brilliant! I'm grateful for his wisdom and knowledge. Thank you for sharing this story!
Are his books worth reading?
Thank you.
Fantastic channel. Very informative and educational. Thank you.
l love Dr Pius Ozigbe! My daughter and I loved watching him and his sister in operation Ouch and his "Dr who gave up drugs" He seems like such a genuine, empathetic, no bullshit guy who genuinely cares and makes complex issues easy to understand for the lay person..
Should we do it again if the pain dosent hi away completely?
Can I get treatment from Peter levine
I dated a guy just over a year ago and got stomach aches from anxiety i felt with him, mainly related to feelings of imposter syndrome as we were both studying at a high level at a top uni (he was a PhD student while I was an undergrad equivalent). I would get negative gut reactions from many things he said to me. The stomach aches persisted every morning when I woke up long after we broke up and as I continued my studies. Now I have moved to a calming environment which is less competitive and judgemental, I feel the tummy aches massively subside. Perhaps it is something to do with this - feelings of self-judgment regarding my (academic etc) value. Of course, there could also be a range of other contributing factors like food...
@philosophyandYoga There is a direct connection between anxiety and digestion. Our gut is where we feel when something is off. When that connection is created with one incident, it can get triggered with other similar incidents. With this energetic disturbance in the gut, we become sesitive to food. the root is the emotions and while you are working to heal that, pay attention to what food may be causing the symptoms in the belly. I see this in m practive often - I am an Ayurvedic Practitioner.
I noticed once I started trying to do somatics on my own when I tapped my body, grounded myself and focused on an area of my body that I feel discomfort and then began to shake. And then afterwards I would continue shaking over and over again. Does this mean it's releasing it or do I actually need to think of fear or pain or some kind of emotion to get it out while also allowing the shaking to happen or is the movement itself releasing this stuck trauma?
@sharonashley1008, the movement does release the trauma but we must also transmute the energy of it in our heart. This is what I do with my clients.
How do you transmute the energy of it in your heart?@@MeenaPuri1
@@brianlittrell797 , you open your heart to what you are feeling, this allows the negative energies to be enveloped with the energy of love. Love is the highest vibration - is the highest expression of all the negative energies. When you open your heart to all that you are feeling, you begin to love your pain, discomfort - that changes the vibration. I explain this process - called the 6A technique in my book: Wake Up and Heal: 6 Steps to Emotional Freedom . You may also find more info in my podcasts. I am happy to have a conversation here with you and to explain.

What if it is generational? My dad and I have the same knot that’s can be very painful.
@misslinglang we do carry generational trauma and wounds in our DNA. Mother wounds are in the second chakra area, father wound in the chest. There are ways to work with this and cut the cords for good.
I get zero help. I have severe back pain KY spine was hurt during a lamenectome ,, spell ck.,, I had three operations around C6 removing bone twice , after long recovery I walked but had drop ft and left side weakness. Using a cane I walked my way back to the wheelchair from workout knee and spurs on my hip. Now it's advanced so bad I can only lie in bed. Strong Drugs barely ease the pain . Sitting up is so excruciating I scream in agony.. Help me pain Dr punctured my lung causing more problems by not following procedures.
Ok this mean that traumatic memory and incomplete response cause it
That easy ????????
