Dr. Peter Levine with Mícheál Ó Mathúna on Trauma, Fear, Resilience, Presence & the Body

Dr. Peter Levine joins Mícheál Ó Mathúna for a grounded and deeply experiential conversation on trauma, fear, resilience, and the body’s innate capacity to heal.

In this discussion, Peter explores:

✓ How fear is experienced in the body, and why learning to track sensation is key to working with it
✓ Why trauma is not just psychological, but held in the nervous system and body
✓ How overwhelm, shutdown, and dissociation emerge through unresolved stress responses
✓ How resilience can be developed through simple, learnable practices that restore regulation
✓ Why connection with others is essential in healing trauma, even during physical isolation
✓ How unprocessed trauma can repeat as a loop within the body and nervous system
✓ The role of presence—both with ourselves and others—in supporting healing and integration
✓ What we can learn from both science and traditional approaches to healing
✓ How working with the body allows trauma to resolve, rather than be continually relived
✓ Why healing trauma can lead to greater strength, compassion, and wholeness

In this conversation, we explore not just how trauma is understood, but how it is experienced in the body and the process through which it can begin to resolve.
