In this exciting episode of Trauma Meets Recovery, Dr. Mark McNear sits down with world-renowned trauma pioneer Dr. Peter Levine — creator of Somatic Experiencing® and a leading voice in nervous system healing and trauma recovery.
Dr. Levine explains how trauma becomes trapped in the body, why so many people stay stuck in survival mode, and how healing begins through reconnecting with the nervous system — not just the mind. He provides hope for those whose lives had been impacted by trauma.
We explore:
• Why trauma is stored in the body
• Fight, flight, freeze & shutdown responses
• The nervous system’s role in healing
• Somatic Experiencing® explained
• How unresolved trauma affects daily life
• Why traditional talk therapy can miss the body
• Practical insights for regulation and recovery
Whether you’re healing from trauma, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about how the body and mind work together, this conversation offers profound insight and hope.
