A person who has had a traumatic experience is stuck in the past for a long time and lives with a constant sense of anxiety. Intrusive memories begin to deceive, the details of events are forgotten over time. Determining what caused the trauma and how to deal with it is becoming increasingly difficult.

In his 45 years of experience in the treatment of PTSD, Peter Levin, Ph.D. and psychotherapist, has come to the conclusion that much of what we think of memory comes to us through uncontrolled sensations - the physical imprints of trauma. In his book, the author explores the fundamental relationship between memory and trauma and offers conscious work with body memories and post-traumatic states - excitement, anxiety, panic, fear and anger.
