I too found boxing in a time when I was beginning to heal from emotional/sexual trauma from my marriage. It was about this time too that I started to become aware of trauma healing and read Waking the Tiger. I feel so many parallels within my own experience to what you shared here. When I began boxing, it was the first time in my life I felt truly empowered. The heavy bag hanging from the oak tree just gives me so many feels. Thank you!

I tried kickboxing back when I was about 20. I loved it but didn’t commit to it at the time. Your book inspired me to try it again last year and I loved it again. I punched and kicked until I felt like I was going to vomit something from the depths of my being. How delicious to take that power back and punch and kick the shit out of that bland-looking, white rubber male dummy. Highly recommend for anyone looking to release long pent up rage!
