Bessel Van der Kolk's amazing book, The Body Keeps the Score, highlights the myriad of ways the mind controls the body by forcing it to hold varous forms of trauma in our muscles, in our lungs and our gut, and via other body-brain connections such as headaches. Through the use of various approaches including drama therapy and physical movement, breathing and mindfulness, EMDR, neurofeedback and through talking therapies that lead to self-awareness we can achieve emotional regulation.
