About this episode
Have you ever felt disconnected from your own body, as if it’s at war with your mind? In his revolutionary masterpiece, The Body Keeps the Score, renowned trauma expert Dr. Bessel van der Kolk reveals why. He masterfully demonstrates how trauma isn't just a story we remember, but a physical imprint that reshapes our brains and bodies, driving anxiety, numbness, and rage. Drawing on decades of cutting-edge science, he offers a new paradigm for recovery, exploring innovative treatments that help us harness our own biology to finally heal the deepest of wounds.
