Dr Bessel van der Kolk is a clinician, researcher, and teacher who has spent his professional life studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences.

He specialises in translating emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of effective treatments for traumatic stress and developmental trauma in children and adults.

He is the author of the New York Times Bestseller: The Body Keeps the Score, the Founder of Trauma Center in Boston, and currently serves as President of the Trauma Research Foundation. 

In this conversation, we explore: 

— The role that neurofeedback can play in healing developmental trauma

—  Dr van der Kolk’s study examining the effects of MDMA on PTSD

— The essential difference between those who were traumatised by the 9-11 attacks and those who weren’t

— How developmental trauma leads to deficits in sensory integration areas of the brain and the most effective treatments for addressing this. 

And more.

Bessel van der Kolk MD spends his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults.

In 1984, he set up one of the first clinical/research centers in the US dedicated to study and treatment of traumatic stress in civilian populations, which has trained numerous researchers and clinicians specializing in the study and treatment of traumatic stress, and which has been continually funded to research the impact of traumatic stress and effective treatment interventions. He has focused on studying treatments that stabilize physiology, increase executive functioning and help traumatized individuals to feel fully alert to the present. ​

His efforts resulted in the establishment of Trauma Center (now the Trauma Research Foundation) that consisted of a well-trained clinical team specializing in the treatment of children and adults with histories of child maltreatment, that applied treatment models that are widely taught and implemented nationwide, a research lab that studied the effects of neurofeedback and MDMA on behavior, mood, and executive functioning, and numerous trainings nationwide to a variety of mental health professional, educators, parent groups, policy makers, and law enforcement personnel.

Gifted Hands "High & Lows"

Title: Ingen Så Meg (Nobody Saw Me)

Description:
"Ingen Så Meg" is a heartfelt song that delves into the hidden struggles of childhood solitude and unacknowledged pain. It tells the story of a child who felt invisible, with no one to see their tears or hear their silent cries for help. Through poignant lyrics and a haunting melody, the song captures the essence of growing up feeling unnoticed and unheard.

This song is a tribute to those who have ever felt like they were alone in their struggles. It speaks to the resilience found within and the journey towards finding one's own strength and voice. Let the music take you on an emotional journey, reminding us all of the importance of seeing and supporting one another, especially the children who might be quietly suffering around us.

He Saw It All

Ernie Vecchio, a trauma psychologist, proposes that early exposure to anger and violence can create a "bully" ego state in children, which can manifest in defensive and aggressive behaviors throughout adulthood. He introduces the humane spectrum, a framework for understanding how early experiences of rage influence our ability to relate compassionately to ourselves and others. Vecchio argues that identifying where we fall on this spectrum can help us recognize that our aggressive behaviors may stem from a need for self-protection rather than inherent personality flaws. This awareness, he believes, can lead to self-compassion and ultimately a shift towards more mindful and compassionate interactions with the world. By fostering a sense of security and openness in children, we can create a "humane universe" where empathy and kindness are valued above anger and aggression.

Understanding Our Inner Bully

Our newest movie, Silent Night Deadly Night, has all the hallmarks of a typical family Christmas.  Crazy relatives?  Check.  Childhood trauma?  Check.  Deranged, homicidal Santa Claus?  Well...maybe not everyone's typical Christmas...This movie starts extremely unsettling and devolves into a nipple-laden slasher with a disappointing climax (if you ask us).  This is another movie where the villain is not as clear-cut as you may think and you really want those villains punished!  Listen up as we discuss archery, Catholic guilt, and nipples, nipples, nipples!

Silent Night Deadly Night

After a 30-year absence Agnes is returning to Australia, the country of her birth, at the behest of her aging, narcissistic mother. Having undergone a long period of psychotherapy she now entertains a hope that burning questions will be answered, haunting mysteries solved, and buried memories encouraged into the light. Something has blighted her life since childhood. Something has cast a long shadow over her existence, affecting her ability to grasp at life fully, to develop sustained relationships and to appreciate her own sense of self-worth.

In a leafy suburb of Sydney, a chance meeting in front of her early childhood home resurrects memories of a traumatic event. This represents the moment young Agnes starts to realise, and repress, feelings of confusion, cruelty and alienation from those who should love her the most. Agnes – A childhood betrayed and reclaimed is the revelatory, true account of one woman’s determination to grapple with - and heal - the ills that have beset her past.

In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Judy king about how a memoir becomes a novel, why remembering can influence the shape of a novel, and how creativity can lead to redemption.

What Happened to You? Dr. Bruce D. Perry on Trauma, Resilience & Healing

Cracks in the Foundation is a piano ballad about sibling estrangement and the quiet unraveling that happens when unspoken trauma and years of buried hurt rise to the surface.

Inspired by my own experience, the song reflects how emotional distance can grow between people who once shared everything — and how the family home can become a symbol of everything left unsaid.

For anyone who has felt the weight of unresolved pain, and who has lost family they once deeply loved — not to death, but to silence.

Cracks in the Foundation - For Anyone Who's Family is Broken Apart

In this episode of Twice 5 Miles Radio, I speak with Rev. Barbara Lane, author of Broken Water, a memoir of childhood trauma, foster care, and reunion with the sisters she was separated from at age three. Barbara’s story is both heartbreaking and healing—a journey through abandonment and abuse into the power of love, memory, and inner resilience.

We talk about how the light of the divine lives in each of us, even in the darkest moments. Barbara shares how the Grovian coaching method and symbolic metaphor can open new paths to healing. Her work is grounded in the belief that you're not what happened to you—you are the story you choose to live now.

If you've ever felt weighed down by the past, this conversation offers „a way through. A reminder that even if the water breaks, it still flows—and you’re still here.

Humbly sitting and assisting others in healing from severe trauma, I have spent my career understanding the human psyche and its response to suffering. My clients say: “It is sad that we have to sever a spinal cord or be amputated to care where we land on the Humane Spectrum!”  Today, https://www.intentional-evolution.org/ offers evidence that our shared inner journeys have a common theme: everyone experiences division. I am suggesting that people have to heal their inner division before repair appears in the culture. Then, and only then, can we connect, be empathetic, and have a reciprocal relationship with ourselves and others. Tune in and listen to discussions around my teachings.
