Bessel van der Kolk Quotes
The organism itself also has a problem knowing how to feel safe.

Thought is not what inhabits a certain conduct and gives it its meaning; rather, it is what allows one to step back from this way of acting or reacting, to present it to oneself as an object of thought and to question it as to its meaning, its conditions, and its goals.
