Your Body Keeps Score! - Unhealed Trauma Making You Feel Lost, Addicted, Stressed - Dr. Bessel (Video)
In this 9 October 2024 video, host Dr Rangan Chatterjee talks with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. Bessel is a professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine and President of the Trauma Research Foundation. He is also the author of the iconic book, ‘The Body Keeps the Score’, which first came out over 10 years ago and has sold millions of copies all around the world. In fact, the book has been somewhat of an international sensation and is as popular today as it ever has been.
In this conversation, we discuss the meaning of trauma and how it’s different from stress. Bessel shares common signs of trauma and describes how traumatic experiences leave a physical imprint in our bodies, which can contribute to a variety of physical and mental health problems. Interestingly, despite his extensive work with patients who have gone through some quite horrific, traumatic events, Bessel is still very optimistic about the world and what he has seen has deepened his belief and faith in human resilience.
We talk about healing and the many methods and techniques that Bessel has found to be helpful. He explains why he thinks that body-oriented therapies such as yoga can play such a vital role and he also explains why he is so passionate about the new research on psychedelic-assisted therapy – for trauma, depression, OCD and addiction. He explains how these treatments can essentially ‘reboot’ the brain, opening up new possibilities for healing*.
Throughout the conversation, we emphasize the crucial role of human interaction and supportive communities in dealing with trauma and fostering resilience. Bessel also offers some valuable advice for parents on raising resilient children.
This conversation really is one of hope and positivity. Yes, sometimes life presents us with some challenging times, but as Bessel makes very clear, we ALL have a remarkable capacity to move on, change and heal.
Throughout our conversation, Bessel’s message is one of hope and the remarkable capacity of humans to change and heal. He provides practical suggestions for those beginning to address their own trauma, including approaches that are affordable and widely available. This is a powerful and insightful discussion with one of the world’s leading authorities on trauma. I hope you enjoy listening.
