Dr. Bruce Perry, MD is taking his healing for trauma to Washington in a May 4 program for the National Council for Behavioral Health.
And the doc’s got rhythm. In fact, he and other trauma experts are reporting revolutionary success with treatments using yoga, meditation, deep breathing, singing, dancing, drumming and more.
These principles are so fundamental to our brains they go back to the dawn of man; the Vedas were sung before 5,000 BC (likely with yoga and meditation.) My book describes how yogic chant and meditation saved my life in 2010, before I ever read a word about brain science.
One California county is trying to cancel such programs, insisting on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which relies on the thinking brain. But Perry and many experts say talk therapy alone can re-traumatize trauma survivors.
