You’ll also love the conversations we had with Ellen Hendrickson about social anxiety. You can find Bessel at: Website | Instagram He was a member of the first neuroimaging team to investigate how trauma changes the brain.īessel’s efforts led to the establishment of the Trauma Research Foundation, developing new treatment models that are widely taught and implemented nationwide, a research lab that studied the effects of neurofeedback and MDMA on behavior, mood, and executive functioning, and numerous trainings nationwide to a variety of mental health professional, educators, parent groups, policymakers, and law enforcement personnel. In 1984, Bessel established one of the first clinical/research centers in the US dedicated to study and treatment of traumatic stress in civilian populations, while also training researchers and clinicians specializing in the study and treatment of traumatic stress. Question is, what do we do about that?

On some level, it’s been hard to escape trauma. These last few years have dealt a lot of blows to our state of mind, body, and health.
