A New Approach to Trauma
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, the author of The Body Keeps the Score, joins Dr. Rick Hanson and his son Forrest to explore how trauma keeps us stuck, and how we can use imagination, self-expression, and creativity in treating trauma.
Along the way they talk about using somatic and non-cognitive interventions, internalized abuse, the value of a developmental perspective, using psychedelics for complex trauma, some of the problems with modern psychiatry, and how we can cultivate a flexible, and compassionate approach to treatment. He helps us explore different tools to break away from old patterns.
