The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett
Bessel van der Kolk is a psychiatrist and best-selling author best known for his groundbreaking book The Body Keeps the Score. A pioneer in the study of trauma, he explores how trauma reshapes both mind and body, and how people can find pathways to healing through therapies that go beyond talk alone.
In today’s Moments episode, Bessel explains why simply reliving a traumatic memory isn’t enough to heal, and dives into EMDR – how it works, why it’s effective, and guides Steven through a live demonstration.
