Bessel van der Kolk Quotes
Imagine what it’s like to make your way through a sea of faces in the school corridor, trying to figure out who might assault you. Children who overreact to their peers’ aggression, who don’t pick up on other kids’ needs, who easily shut down or lose control of their impulses, are likely to be shunned and left out of sleepovers or play dates.

Then, the idea that we used to pump poison into people to fight off cancer will almost seem like the use of leeches or something.
