Eliza Dushku Instagram – When I first read The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.. it so completely validated so many of my experiences and my responses towards past experiences. It helped contextualize very confusing areas of my life- to clear up misunderstandings, about my own self, that had brought a lot of turmoil and shame. I began to see how overwhelming experiences affect the development of the brain & mind, and how my mind/body had become conditioned to respond to certain things in the years/decades after, in maladaptive ways. And, that there were ways to overcome these challenging responses/ways that had seemed to me to be my norm/baseline. The author, Bessel van der Kolk is a pioneer in the trauma world. He has helped so many others, like me, find a new lens with which to view their world- past, present, & future. I am grateful to him beyond measure.
When I listened to him speak on the #Massachusetts State House steps yesterday in support of psychedelic-assisted-therapy for healing trauma, I became filled with emotion. Just so moved by his service and work, he is so clear in his understanding of how trauma survivors tick.. If youāre curious have a listen to this clip, maybe it resonates for some of you. Maybe it helps educate for others. He is a brilliant, devoted, exceptional Doctor.
So honored to be in his company and to live in a time where our society may be influenced and so profoundly impacted by his wisdom.
Bedankt, Bessel. With deepest thanks š āØ
