22 min.  Maureen and Pierre introduce Bessel van der Kolk's book: The Body Keeps the Score:  Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma.   

A watershed book in establishing a diagnosis around trauma and its healing.  Scientific yet accessible, it was on the NYTimes bestseller list for 141 weeks - almost 3 years.  

Maureen relates how the book is useful as a parent, teacher and clinician / therapist.   It's relevant in understanding humanity, not just traumatized individuals, but understanding how the body copes with stress - positively and negatively.  

Maureen and Pierre unpack a quote relating to agency and interoception, their roles in healing.  The podcast highlights the changing and exploding nexus of information coming out on mind body systems.
