How to Help Traumatized Patients Restore their Vitality - with Bessel van der Kolk, MD

So much of our work with traumatized patients is often centered around trauma stabilization and processing. . .
. . . but if we don’t help patients move beyond these early stages of recovery, they’re at risk of staying stuck in the past, repeatedly re-engaging with their trauma.
So in the video below, Bessel van der Kolk, MD shares what can help patients reclaim their vitality and move beyond experiences of trauma.
Not only that, he’ll reflect on how he approached treatment earlier in his career, and why he thinks this (common) approach kept his patients from feeling fully alive after trauma.

Always so interesting. Thank you! I’ve been working on rewiring my limbic/brain for a year now and seeing great results. Is a slow process for me but I’m in it to win it!! 💪🏻💜

Is EMDR therapy effective then, or is it too much re-traumatizing and reinforcing the "alive" sensations?

Maybe its just a natural reaction to restrictive megaliths. The same reason people enjoy travelling. We shouldn't blame and catagorise the individual for reacting badly to an oppressive system.
