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."

"Never let fear stop you from chasing your dreams."

"Courage is being afraid but doing it anyway."

"Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do."

"Sometimes you have to be the monster to stop the monsters."
