In case you'd like to dig deeper, these folks inspire my work, The Science of Self Trust:
🧠 1. Bessel van der Kolk
Book: The Body Keeps the Score
Why: 👉 trauma reshapes how we feel safety + respond internally
Supports: → “your system adapted for survival”
🧠 2. Stephen Porges
Theory: Polyvagal Theory
Why: 👉 nervous system drives perception + decision-making
Supports: → “you don’t trust yourself because your system doesn’t feel safe”
🧠 3. Judith Herman
Book: Trauma and Recovery
Why: 👉 trauma disrupts autonomy + sense of self
Supports: → “loss of internal authority”
🧠 4. Antonio Damasio
Work: Somatic Marker Hypothesis
Why: 👉 emotions guide decision-making
Supports: → “if signals are disrupted → decisions feel unreliable”
🧠 5. Gabor Maté
Work: trauma + adaptation
Why: 👉 behaviors are responses, not pathology
Supports: → “nothing is ‘wrong’ with you”
