The Body Keeps the Score
The Body Keeps the Score
By Bessel van der Kolk
In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk explores how trauma reshapes both the body and brain, impacting sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self control, and trust. Drawing from decades of research and clinical experience, he reveals how trauma lives on in the body long after the initial event and why traditional talk therapy often falls short.
Through compelling case studies and insights from neuroscience, psychology, and somatic therapies, van der Kolk presents a comprehensive look at innovative treatments from EMDR to yoga, that help rewire the brain and restore balance. He emphasizes that healing is possible when mind and body are treated as one.
Deeply informative and compassionate, The Body Keeps the Score offers hope and a new path forward for trauma survivors and those who support them.
