reading up on other polar expeditions and stuff after watching the terror is so crazy. like what do you mean there was a captain who died after probably being poisoned by the ships doctor??? what do you mean the first guy confirmed to have set foot on the north pole got there via snowmobile???

[funeral]

Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, they often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings and in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from their selves.

can you say more about the way van der kolk conceptualizes trauma/our response to it & with what aspects you take issue?

it's been a minute since i read 'the body keeps the score' but my recollection is what irritated me was a continual invocation of pop-neurosci explanations that basically sought to exonerate people of moral culpability for their 'trauma responses' by presenting these things as quirks of biology that are mechanically driven, out of their control, &c. think like, the idea of the 'lizard brain'—rudimentary neurological architecture that responds to fear or threats on a more 'primitive' level than the outermost, higher-consciousness-producing anatomy. besides the fact that this builds on basically a recapitulationist read of evolution (meaning like, 'ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny' à la haeckel)—and the political valences of such discourses about 'primitiveness' or 'primordial organs' or vestiges / atavisms—besides all this, which is a whole different post, this type of explanation of trauma or any other psychological phenomenon is infuriating because it takes for granted the presumed dichotomy within which something can be 'biological' (mechanical, out of your control, not your fault) OR it can be 'psychological' (a spiritual / conscious / immaterial phenomenon that you are responsible for; your fault).

there's no room here for any further nuance, for example along the lines of "your psychological response / pain / suffering is not your fault regardless of whether there's a biological mechanism that 'explains' it, and regardless of whether we can ever find or 'fix' such a thing" or, "psychological phenomena can be biologically instantiated without being biologically caused", &c & so forth. i think van der kolk appeals to a lot of people because the dominant medico-psychiatric paradigms can't help them, and then blame them for having 'recalcitrant' problems or being 'non-compliant'. so to have someone like van der kolk saying "actually, it's not your fault, you really are suffering, and it's out of your control" is very appealing and sells a lot of books. but fundamentally his work operates within the same paradigm as doctors who will just blame you for your own suffering if they can't fix it with pills or diet; van der kolk just takes the opposite stance within this therapeutic model, and this is why he so often has to invoke really shitty, oversimplified, outdated or simply not evidence-backed models of neurology and psychology because they feel intuitively true and validating. again my position here isn't defending neurologists or psychiatrists; it's the opposite. i disagree with this whole paradigm, with the false binary between 'neurobiology' and 'things we consciously control', & with the idea that an experience being biologically or neurologically instantiated automatically means it is mechanically caused or can be mechanically 'treated'.
