3 Quotations on Trauma

“Being traumatized means continuing to organize your life as if the trauma were still going on--unchanged and immutable--as every new encounter or event is contaminated by the past.”

Bessel van der Kolk

“Trauma results in a fundamental reorganization of the way mind and brain manage perceptions. It changes not only how we think and what we think about, but also our very capacity to think.”

Bessel van der Kolk

“For real change to take place, the body needs to learn that the danger has passed and to live in the reality of the present.”

Bessel van der Kolk
