Bessel van der Kolk – Psychotherapy Networker Symposium: When Talk Isn’t Enough: Embodied Awareness in the Consulting Room

Description

After being traumatized, the body keeps pumping out stress hormones that make people feel frazzled, agitated, or shut down. Talk therapy alone doesn’t reset the limbic system, the part of the brain that creates a sense of fear and helplessness.
