Summary
Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: Why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The listener is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

Narrators voice...
I love this book so thought I would get the audible version to listen to.
OMG the narrators voice makes it a painful experience. I actually can’t bear to hear it any further. It’s definitely a lesson to listen to the sample prior to purchase.

Shame about the awful narrator
The content is good. The narration is horrendous!!! How on earth an intelligence such as Peter Levine could let his work be narrated by such an irritating and wholly unpleasant voice is beyond comprehension.

Interesting content ruined by dire narration
What did you like most about Waking the Tiger?
As a counsellor I'm really interested in learning about trauma and how it impacts on an individual, therefore the content of this audible book is potentially interesting and informative.
BUT I found it near next to impossible to listen to because of the narrators whinging, US drawl, together with terrible and at times totally bored/disinterested intonation....
I would advise you to listen to the sample before you buy - but saying that I did that and I thought I could cope with it, but in reality I'm finding the accent/tone/intonation totally distracting which is a total shame.
I might have to resort to a Kindle version in order to focus better on the content.
How could the performance have been better?
Totally different narrator.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No that wouldn't be possible more so because of the appalling narration. But it's not really an 'all in one sitting' kind of book anyway.
Any additional comments?
A pdf accompaniment would have been helpful

Excellent book, terrible narration...
This book is a wonderful seminal text by Peter Levine.
As a therapist and counsellor, it is essential reading for trauma work.
However, the narration here is abysmal and intolerable to listen to.....
Please re-record the text with a less laborious narrator....
Thank you 😊

Excellent introduction to somatic experiencing
Great discussion about the normality of the traumatic response with lots of excellent observations about how well meaning clinicians might inadvertently calcify the traumatic response. Key observations about the importance of not making victimisation part of ones identity; how focus on recall might interfere with the necessary processing; how human capacity to override bodily reactions might leave people stuck with trauma symptoms; guidance on how to enable renegotiation of traumatic response; lots of exercises to use oneself or with others to increase interoception and process trauma. Very accessible. Excellent

A primer in somatic healing
Primordial. Quite short, but leaves you wanting to read and practice more. A good start.

I liked the narration
My chronic pain condition makes concentration difficult so I found the pace of the narration helped to make large amounts of information far more easily digestible.,

Awful Narration yet a revelatory book tolerate the voice, it’s worth it.
What an essential listen,
This book should be mandatory for all students at high school. Society would be far better served, by engaging in this I’m certain many of the world’s woes would be solved.
Thank you 🙏
