Kind of a silly ending to the article.
>I think Bessel van der Kolk and Gabor Mate’s heavy handed trauma narrative is [bad]
followed immediately by
>However if they ‘treat’ their trauma with things like yoga, meditation, psychedelics and have some benefits, it’s very likely they would have had the benefits regardless of whether they viewed it as some sort of trauma treatment or not.
I suppose the author has never heard of placebo effects? Talk about a heavy-handed narrative.
Author also seems to be skeptical of the idea that stress and inflammation can be a major cause of disease in the body. I might just be reading into things, but if that's an accurate assessment on my part, it's wildly inaccurate.
