Bessel van der Kolk Quotes
The experience of fear derives from primitive responses to threat where escape is thwarted in some way.

Without it you have to rely on external regulation — from medication, drugs like alcohol, constant reassurance, or compulsive compliance with the wishes of others.Bessel van der Kolk
