healing trauma - or for anyone with a brain and a body

[ktgrok]

I know a lot of people here are familiar with The Body Keeps the Score and this was a fascinating double interview with the author. Second part gets into how the pandemic is an assault on our nature as primates, dealing with stress, etc. 

There is a podcast and a transcript - so can listen or read it. https://onbeing.org/programs/bessel-van-der-kolk-trauma-the-body-and-2021/

Thanks, still reading the transcript but it’s very interesting.

Thanks, this is a reminder that once everything opens up again (hopefully next year) I need to make a commitment to yoga and/or tai chi.

I've been listening to John Eldredge's podcast and he's been saying the same thing. This pandemic has been difficult and, many of us won't be able to jump back into life at the same pace that we kept before for a bit. We need to be kind to ourselves and allow our souls to heal.
