Meg Shaffer
“Another thing I learned in therapy?" Angie said. "The kids in dysfunctional families who act out and rebel are the ones who are the healthiest mentally. They're the ones who see that something's wrong. That's why they act out, because they see the house is burning down, and they're screaming for help. That was you.”
Meg Shaffer, The Wishing Game

Bessel van der Kolk
“If you are able to stay focused on this page, your thalamus is helping you distinguish between sensory information that is relevant and information that you can safely ignore...

People with PTSD have their floodgates wide open. Lacking a filter, they are on constant sensory overload. In order to cope, they try to shut themselves down... The tragedy is that the price of closing down includes filtering out sources of pleasure and joy, as well.”
Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

C.S. Lewis
“The thing you long for summons you away from the self. Even the desire for the thing lives only if you abandon it. This is the ultimate law—the seed dies to live, the bread must be cast upon the waters, he that loses his soul will save it.”
C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

Eric Overby
“Waves wash over her
like the edge of the sea
and the only thing she has left
are the shadows of his memory”
Eric Overby, Hourglass in Grace

Bessel van der Kolk
“Numbing is the other side of the coin in PTSD. Many untreated trauma survivors start out...with explosive flashbacks, then numb out later in life.”
Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
