Bessel van der Kolk 在书里反复强调一件事:创伤不存在于记忆里,它存在于身体里。而我们大多数人,早就学会了忽略自己的身体。
"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 approaches."
"In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past."
所以,今天能不能在某一刻,停下来问问自己:此刻,身体在哪里?有什么感受?不用分析,只是注意到。
