A talk on how traumatic experiences leave their imprint on the body as well as the mind. It is led by Dr Bessel van der Kolk, presented by How To Academy. Drawing on more than thirty years of research and clinical practice and his bestseller The Body Keeps The Score, he explores trauma's reshaping of brain and body. He will reveal a bold new paradigm for healing, showing how relationships both hurt and heal.
