“Some wisdom lives in your body before your mind can explain it. Trust what your bones know.”
Lawrence Nault

“We have a brain in our belly, a very sophisticated one, and it responds to everything that’s happened in our lives, so it accumulates a lot of stories over time.”
Bonnie Badenoch, The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships
