"It's very hard to control the mind with the mind...So when your mind isn't where you want it to be, look to the body to shift the brain."
-Andrew Huberman
"Trauma changes our emotions; changed emotions determine our decisions."
-Paul Conti MD
"The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves."
-Bessel Van Der Kolk
"Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, they often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings and in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from their selves."
