创伤卡在身体里，不是比喻，是字面意义上的生理事实。Van der Kolk 在书中花了大量篇幅解释：被冻结的不是记忆，是当年没完成的动作。
"Trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body... The body keeps the score: if the memory of trauma is encoded in the viscera, in heartbreaking and gut-wrenching emotions, in autoimmune disorders and skeletal/muscular problems, and if mind/brain/visceral communication is the royal road to emotion regulation, this demands a radical shift in our therapeutic approach."
"Physical movement can help people reclaim their bodies. Yoga, EMDR, and theater... all work by reactivating the body's own regulatory systems and allow people to experience new possibilities of action."
读到这里，我突然理解了为什么有些人在经历重大压力后，变得格外需要用力运动——那不是逃避，是本能的自我修复。身体比大脑更早知道自己需要什么。
