Yonder they flay it. And O my people they do not love your hands. Those they only use, tie, bind, chop off and leave empty. Love your hands! Love them. Raise them up and kiss them. Touch others with them, pat them together, stroke them on your face 'cause they don't love that either. You got to love it, you! And no, they ain't in love with your mouth. Yonder, out there, they will see it broken and break it again. What you say out of it they will not heed. What you scream from it they do not hear. What you put into it to nourish your body they will snatch away and give you leavins instead. No, they don't love your mouth. You got to love it. This is flesh I'm talking about here. Flesh that needs to be loved. Feet that need to rest and to dance; backs that need support; shoulders that need arms, strong arms I'm telling you. And O my people, out yonder, hear me, they do not love your neck unnoosed and straight. So love your neck; put a hand on it, grace it, stroke it and hold it up. and all your inside parts that they'd just as soon slop for hogs, you got to love them. The dark, dark liver--love it, love it and the beat and beating heart, love that too. More than eyes or feet. More than lungs that have yet to draw free air. More than your life-holding womb and your life-giving private parts, hear me now, love your heart.

Being frightened means that you live in a body that is always on guard. Angry people live in angry bodies. The bodies of child-abuse victims are tense and defensive until they find a way to relax and feel safe. In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.<br /><br />In my practice I begin the process by helping my patients to first notice and then describe the feelings in their bodies—not emotions such as anger or anxiety or fear but the physical sensations beneath the emotions: pressure, heat, muscular tension, tingling, caving in, feeling hollow, and so on. I also work on identifying the sensations associated with relaxation or pleasure. I help them become aware of their breath, their gestures and movements.<br /><br />All too often, however, drugs such as Abilify, Zyprexa, and Seroquel, are prescribed instead of teaching people the skills to deal with such distressing physical reactions. Of course, medications only blunt sensations and do nothing to resolve them or transform them from toxic agents into allies. <br /><br />The mind needs to be reeducated to feel physical sensations, and the body needs to be helped to tolerate and enjoy the comforts of touch. Individuals who lack emotional awareness are able, with practice, to connect their physical sensations to psychological events. Then they can slowly reconnect with themselves.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Bessel A. van der Kolk, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_18693771> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/26542319">The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="greyText smallText left"> tags: <a href="/quotes/tag/angeranger">angeranger</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/awareness">awareness</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/body">body</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/emotions">emotions</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/fear">fear</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/mind">mind</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/mind-body-spirit">mind-body-spirit</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/mindfulnessmindfulness">mindfulnessmindfulness</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/psychology">psychology</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/ptsd">ptsd</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/recovery">recovery</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/touch">touch</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/trauma">trauma</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/victims">victims</a> </div> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/5575683-befriending-the-body-trauma-victims-cannot-recover-until-they-become">243 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="action"> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> <br class="clear"/> </div> <div class="quote mediumText "> <div class="quoteDetails "> <a class="leftAlignedImage quoteAvatar " href="/author/show/15321.Confucius"> <img alt="Confucius" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1407613261i/15321._UX200_CR0,0,200,200_.jpg" /> </a> <div class="quoteText"> “He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Confucius </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="greyText smallText left"> tags: <a href="/quotes/tag/ancient">ancient</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/ancient-china">ancient-china</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/ancient-chinese">ancient-chinese</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/body">body</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/chinese">chinese</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/conquers">conquers</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/fighting">fighting</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/inspirational">inspirational</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/philosophical">philosophical</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/philosophy">philosophy</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/proverb">proverb</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/self-improvement">self-improvement</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/self-realization">self-realization</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/training">training</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/warrior">warrior</a> </div> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/7308426-he-who-conquers-himself-is-the-mightiest-warrior">217 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="action"> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> <br class="clear"/> </div> <div class="quote mediumText "> <div class="quoteDetails "> <a class="leftAlignedImage quoteAvatar " href="/author/show/4430.Sherrilyn_Kenyon"> <img alt="Sherrilyn Kenyon" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1547439330i/4430._UX200_CR0,50,200,200_.jpg" /> </a> <div class="quoteText"> “I got a shotgun and a backhoe and no one looks under a septic tank for a dead body.

The very structure of trauma, including activation, dissociation and freezing are based on the evolution of survival behaviors. When threatened or injured, all animals draw from a "library" of possible responses. We orient, dodge, duck, stiffen, brace, retract, fight, flee, freeze, collapse, etc. All of these coordinated responses are somatically based- they are things that the body does to protect and defend itself. It is when these orienting and defending responses are overwhelmed that we see trauma.<br /><br />The bodies of traumatized people portray "snapshots" of their unsuccessful attempts to defend themselves in the face of threat and injury. Trauma is a highly activated incomplete biological response to threat, frozen in time. For example, when we prepare to fight or to flee, muscles throughout our entire body are tensed in specific patterns of high energy readiness. When we are unable to complete the appropriate actions, we fail to discharge the tremendous energy generated by our survival preparations. This energy becomes fixed in specific patterns of neuromuscular readiness. The person then stays in a state of acute and then chronic arousal and dysfunction in the central nervous system. Traumatized people are not suffering from a disease in the normal sense of the word- they have become stuck in an aroused state. It is difficult if not impossible to function normally under these circumstances.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Peter A.
