As a psychologist with 20+ years experience, I am less than enamored with Peter Levine's work, and here's why:I realize lately that through many "brief therapy" approaches, both therapists and clients are looking for quick answers to rather complex problems. Those of us who have traditionally done longer term therapy already knew that it wasn't so easy. We also knew - or at least should know if we want to offer hope - that humans have an innate drive toward health, in spite of "trauma." When Levine points out the complexity of trauma, even as an em-bodied experience, he takes a "radical" approach - but really nothing new. Now many therapists and clients are "discovering" the baby that was thrown out with the bathwater. I give Levine credit for re-opening our eyes, but, frankly, this in not new material. Real growth producing therapy is a broad endeavor, not a six session "technique"....
