Description
Trauma is an unfortunate reality in many lives. Veterans and their families struggle with the aftermath of combat, one in five Americans has experienced molestation, one in four grew up with alcoholism, and one in three couples have faced physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s leading trauma experts, has dedicated over three decades to working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses groundbreaking scientific research to reveal how trauma physically alters the body and brain, impairing the ability to experience joy, connection, self-control, and trust.
Dr. van der Kolk explores a variety of innovative treatments—including neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga—that tap into the brain’s natural neuroplasticity, offering fresh avenues for recovery. Drawing on his own research and that of other top experts, The Body Keeps the Score highlights the profound impact relationships can have on both the harm and healing of trauma. It offers new hope for those seeking to reclaim their lives.
