Bessel van der Kolk on The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma (102 min)

"The fact is that when you are traumatized, more trauma attracts you" ~Bessel-Van-der-Kolk~

Thank you Louise and all of the team at ECHO that made this event posible for this video.

Please do let us know how it goes. I recommended a home system to a friend whose son is having huge problems with regulation - with the caveat that I don't know how well this works!

Well thanks. I just ordered a home system, Brain Paint. I will let everyone know how it goes when I start this. But I am excited. I think this may be a treatment for those of us where other things just don't work.  

Hi Tina!

This video was from the evening talk, where Dr. van der Kolk added to his earlier presentations during Echo's Changing the Paradigm conference. In the course of the day, he talked a lot about neurofeedback. He is quite obviously a fan! However, I think you'll find all that he said in THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE

I love Dr. Van der Kolk he gets it.  I diagnose developmental trauma. Of course it isn't on the billing sheet but I put it in the notes. I never diagnose Oppositional Defiant, Pediatric Bipolar, or Conduct Disorder. I will code behavioral concerns (which there is a code for).  He knows more than any other clinical psychiatrist as far as I am concerned. 

The Vipassana meditation was awesome it is on the DVD from the Boston Trauma Conference 2 or 3 years ago.  I thought it was great.  I wanted to go to a Vipassana retreat after watching that.  

You can watch "The Dharma Brothers". It is a great video.  http://www.dhammabrothers.com/Prison.htm

I just want to know what did he have to say about neurofeedback????
