"Sometimes carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement." --Albert Camus

Trauma, the Body and 2021

"When Krista Tippett interviewed the psychiatrist and trauma specialist Bessel van der Kolk for the first time, his book The Body Keeps the Score was about to be published. She described him then as "an innovator in treating the effects of overwhelming experiences on people and society." She catches up with him in 2021 -- as we are living through one vast overwhelming experience after the other. And The Body Keeps the Score is now one of the most widely read books in the pandemic world. His perspective is utterly unique and very practically helpful -- on what's been happening in our bodies and our brains, and how that relationship can become severed and restored."
