“In the culture people talk about trauma as an event that happened a long time ago. But what trauma is, is the imprints that event has left on your mind and in your sensations... the discomfort you feel and the agitation you feel and the rage and the helplessness you feel right now.”

Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk is helping people with post traumatic stress disorder focus less on talking about their stories, and more on how their stories feel, how they sound, look, or smell.

You can also hear van der Kolk's extended interview, including more on yoga and the neuroscience of trauma.
