The Body Keeps the Score

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk explores the profound impact of trauma on the brain, mind, and body. The book delves into how traumatic experiences reshape the nervous system, affecting emotions, behaviors, and even physical health. Van der Kolk, a leading expert in trauma research, presents scientific insights alongside patient stories to illustrate how trauma manifests and persists.

The book is divided into several sections:

• The Rediscovery of Trauma: Examines the history of trauma research and how societal attitudes toward trauma have evolved.
• This is Your Brain on Trauma: Explores the neurological effects of trauma, including changes in brain function and stress responses.
• The Minds of Children: Discusses developmental trauma and its long-term consequences.
• The Imprint of Trauma: Investigates how trauma alters perception, memory, and emotional regulation.
• Paths to Recovery: Introduces various therapeutic approaches, including mindfulness, yoga, EMDR, and neurofeedback, to help individuals heal.

Van der Kolk emphasizes the importance of reconnecting the mind and body in the healing process, advocating for holistic treatments that go beyond traditional talk therapy. His work has been widely influential in reshaping how trauma is understood and treated.
