In this livestream event held in collaboration with MindHealth360, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Benjamin Fry will explore a powerful new paradigm for healing.

The effects of trauma can be devastating for sufferers and their families—from the experience of incomprehensible anxiety and numbing rage to difficulty forming trusting relationships, concentrating and feeling at home in one’s own body. Having lost the sense of control of themselves and frustrated by failed therapies, sufferers often fear that they are damaged beyond repair.

But the helplessness and invisibility associated with trauma need not be inevitable. Drawn from more than thirty years at the forefront of research and clinical practice, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s global bestseller The Body Keeps The Score showed us that the terror and isolation at the core of trauma literally reshape both brain and body—and demonstrated a new approach to recovery, moving away from standard talking and drug therapies to heal mind, brain and body.

Dr. van der Kolk in conversation with psychotherapist and author of The Invisible Lion, Benjamin Fry, explore this bold new paradigm for treatment. Fusing insights from the cutting-edge of neuroscience with the weight of decades of experience as an active therapist, Dr. van der Kolk will reveal the power of our relationships—whether in the intimacy of the home or in our wider communities—to both hurt and heal.
