Picking up the thread from the previous post….. I am sharing two extracts from Bessel van der Kolk and Peter Levine’s books, The Body Keeps the Score and In an Unspoken Voice, on how intrusive medical experiences performed under anaesthesia can be traumatic, anaesthesia awareness and post-operational stress, and also, a few samples of different artistic expressions of different layers and aspects of experiences that involved hospital stays and medical procedures at different points in time….. The ink drawings that I have not posted previously are two of a series of very fast, spontaneous drawings I made over a decade ago.
