Quote by Bessel van der Kolk

"Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence."

"The single most important issue for traumatized people is to find a sense of safety in their own bodies."

"We have learned that 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."

"As long as we perceive threats, our brains will respond as if we are in danger."

"I believe in working hard for what you want."

"Never underestimate the power of determination."

"I don't need a reason to fight."

"The most important thing is the mission. Nothing else matters."
