What EMDR does in the brain

What if trauma healing isn't just about talking about the past, but helping the body feel safe again? In this episode of The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world's leading trauma experts, to explore 7 powerful ways to heal trauma without medication. Bessel shares why trauma is not just a story from the past, but a pattern the body and nervous system keep replaying in the present. We talk about why true healing often requires more than talk therapy, and how approaches like EMDR, yoga, breathwork, neurofeedback, movement, community + psychedelics can help people process trauma in a deeper way. If you've ever wondered why trauma can still live in the body, why certain patterns keep repeating, or what actually helps people heal, this episode offers a much more hopeful + expanded path forward.
