About this listen
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 😊

Very interesting perspective
The case studies of reenactment as a way of processing unresolved trauma was a new view for me !

Narration is off-putting.
This audiobook needs to be re-recorded with a different narrator. Found myself constantly zoning out due to the monotone, monotonous voice. Was also irked by the strange inflection and word emphasis.
Would be a great audiobook if re-done.

Great book, shame about the narration!
I really struggled to listen to this. The voice of the narrator was not to my liking at all. I managed all the way through because I’m studying Breathwork and needed to read this. Otherwise I would have given up early.

important for everyone
Maybe the most helpful book I've ever read/ listened to. Peter Levine covers the topic of trauma and healing in a really understandable way.
