Trauma and Spirituality
Peter Levine’s legacy book.
A beautiful look at how the stages of a traumatic experience can be reminiscent of those of a spiritual awakening. Personal and touching stories accompany the journey, while the spiritual pieces vary by tradition and geography. Together, the two leave the reader with a validation that they have experienced something more profound than they can themselves describe, and that somehow their suffering led to something profound.
Spirituality and Trauma brings something unique to the trauma book landscape in which Gabor Maté, Mark Wolynn, Bessel van der Kolk, and even Stephanie Foo’s writing delivers. It bridges the traumatic experience with the spiritual experience in a way that delivers a finite piece in the wake of suggestive pieces. While the other trauma books help the reader to identify their trauma, heal from it, relate to someone else, this one validates the reader’s guttural feeling- that they have experienced something transcendental.
Foreword by Alanis Morissette.
