- This class takes practitioner’s skills and practice to a deeper level. The foundational teaching of this class arises from the work of Peter Levine, PhD. Dr. Levine’s work in the field of trauma/post traumatic stress is ground breaking. Tracking the normal reaction to threats, he along with Dr. Bessel Vanderkolk have unequivocally determined the “unwinding” component is a crucial phase toward the resolution of trauma.
