Masculine & Feminine DynamicsThe Truth About Trauma That No One Tells You (Dr Peter Levine)When dealing with trauma, many of us turn to meditation, gratitude, plant medicine or spiritual practices – but the trauma responses keep returning.As Dr Peter Levine explains, while these experiences can create portals or moments of bliss, they don't truly resolve the underlying trauma that remains stored in our bodies.To truly heal trauma, we need to take small steps rather than diving straight in, and recognise that healing happens in relationship, both with ourselves and others.Spiritual bypassing keeps us locked in repeating patterns. Our relationships suffer as we project our unresolved tr...
