Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma: The Innate Capacity to Transform Overwhelming Experiences is a foundational nonfiction work in trauma psychology and body-oriented healing by Peter A. Levine, the developer of Somatic Experiencing. The book argues that trauma is not primarily a defect of character, memory, or willpower, but a physiological disruption in the nervous system after overwhelming threat. Levine draws on observations of animal behavior, human survival responses, and clinical experience to explain why some threatening events become lasting trauma while others are integrated. Its purpose is both explanatory and practical: it reframes symptoms such as panic, numbness, hypervigilance, and collapse as signs of interrupted biological responses, then introduces ways to restore regulation through attention to bodily sensation. Rather than centering verbal analysis alone, the book places the body at the core of recovery, making it influential among therapists, trauma survivors, and readers interested in mind-body approaches.
