Bessel van der Kolk grew up in a time when trauma was hardly spoken about. He is now one of the most well-known voices in this field. As trauma receives increasing attention, he warns of a new pitfall: trauma must not become an “alibi” to evade responsibility.
Despite this major focus on trauma, there is still much misery in the world. Van der Kolk advocates not only talking about trauma but also involving the body. In doing so, he looks to other cultures, where people seek out rhythm after profound experiences: they sing, dance, and harvest together. “Rhythm makes you feel safe. You know what is going to happen. With trauma, you never know.”
0:00 - The success of his book and the explanation for it
8:00 - Criticism of the book: where does this come from?
14:42 - What is trauma actually?
20:22 - The cultural difference between medication and other methods of treatment
27:33 - Having traumas yourself as a doctor: does that help you or not? 37:39 - What helps with trauma?
43:26 - With everything we know about trauma, why do we keep inflicting it on each other?
47:47 - What does it mean to overcome trauma?
Every Friday, presenter Pieter van der Wielen welcomes a leading guest from a field that is important for our time. How do they view life? What do they see as the key challenges of our time? And what can we learn from them? Presentation: Pieter van der Wielen

Ga thuis in gesprek met je gedachten, stemmen of innerlijke kind. Erken wat er toen is gebeurd en richt je tot het kwetsbare, boze of angstige kind: “Wat erg. Wat moeilijk. Wat naar. Je moet wel heel verdrietig, bang of geschokt zijn geweest.”
Geef vervolgens de troost, bescherming en erkenning die toen ontbrak. Daarna maak je de overgang naar het hier-en-nu: “Het is nu anders. Je bent nu volwassen. Je bent nu hier en je bent veiliger. Ik ben er nu voor je.”
Rescripting vanuit de schematherapie kan daarmee een manier zijn om oude emotionele ervaringen opnieuw te beleven vanuit je volwassen perspectief. Het hoeft niet via medicatie, aanraking of geestverruimende middelen; het gebeurt door aandacht, verbeelding, erkenning en een nieuwe innerlijke reactie.
Heelwording heeft minstens 4 elementen 1) een somatische beweging naar binnen 2) co-regulatie i.e. in veilig gehechte gemeenschap 3) integratie i.e. schaduw werk en 4) tijd.
Later they will wonder about the terrible atrocities the ones who stayed alive comitted
