Bessel van der Kolk Quotes
Our relationship maps are implicit, etched into the emotional brain and not reversible simply by understanding how they were created.

A belief, however necessary it may be for the preservation of a species, has nothing to do with truth. The falseness of a judgment is not for us necessarily an objection to a judgment. The question is to what extent it is life-promoting, life-preserving, species preserving, perhaps even species cultivating.
