    The Body Keeps the Score: Trauma's Hidden Biology

    Melhor citação de The Body Keeps the Score: Trauma's Hidden Biology

    “

    Trauma is not a character flaw or weakness; it is our body's attempt to protect us that sometimes gets stuck in overdrive. The same way trauma can rewire our neural pathways, the brain's neuroplasticity means healing can rewire them back.
