Dr. Bessel van der Kolk dismantles our understanding of trauma, arguing it’s not a memory of the past but a present force reshaping the brain and identity. From EMDR to psychedelics, he explores unconventional paths to healing while exposing the failures of traditional psychiatry. True recovery, he insists, begins with compassion, embodiment, and community, not diagnosis.
