Ray’s Story

30-min Documentary
Dr Levine working with a war trauma Veteran

I learned to use what he taught me and use it by myself.
— Ray

This video tells the compassionate story of the healing process of Ray, a marine who was injured by two explosive devices, had his closest friend die in his arms, and was diagnosed with both severe PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

He was brought to see Dr. Levine after developing chronic pain, depression, Tourette-like convulsions, cognitive problems, and insomnia due to night terrors.

In a series of documented Somatic Experiencing® sessions, including Ray's family, Peter demonstrates the power of SE™ as a tool to heal the wounds of war.

For follow-up, Ray attended a Somatic Experiencing trauma healing retreat for Military Veterans with Dr Levine that took place in Maine in 2019.
