Bessel van der Kolk
“Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort.

Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon, The Scottish Prisoner

Jacob Bronowski
“There is no absolute knowledge. And those who claim it, whether they are scientists or dogmatists, open the door to tragedy.”

“As the ACE study has shown, child abuse and neglect is the single most preventable cause of mental illness, the single most common cause of drug and alcohol abuse, and a significant contributor to leading causes of death such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and suicide.”
Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Victor Hugo
“The boughs, without becoming detached from the trunk grow away from it.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
