Books Mentioned On DOAC By Dr. Bessel van der Kolk:

Oliver Sacks

My mother was more or less broken by the pandemic of 1919 in which her father developed Parkinsonism and became one of those Oliver Sacks type people, so my mother was a very frozen person which had a big impact on me.

Various

When they talk about the downside of physical punishment of their kids, oftentimes particularly black people will say I want to raise my children knowing about right and wrong and the Bible says I need to punish my children and that's what I'm doing.

Michael Pollan

I still very much hope to do inkblot tests because, as Michael Pollan says, 'How to Change Your Mind', but we're not measuring how people change their minds.

Trevor Noah

...something that came up in your interview with Trevor—the deep degree to which we're interconnected creatures...

American Psychiatric Association

I helped to create a DSM at some point in a very minor role, but the DSM is not a good way of starting off, namely how sick are you.

Krissy Cela

A lot of the people that I've interviewed that are weightlifters are bullied kids. I think about Mike who I had on the show, Krissy Cela who I had on the show; both of them speak to early trauma as well.

Bessel van der Kolk

I wrote this book before I got into psychedelic therapies. Every chapter tells stories about people getting better. I've proven how helpful EMDR can be, how well yoga can be, how well neurofeedback can do.

Gabor Maté

When I spoke to Gabor Maté, he was describing what ADHD was to me and he said he views it as a response to early childhood stress and trauma rather than purely genetic or neurological.
