The Body Keeps The Score By Bessel Van Der Kolk

“Mind, brain and body in the transformation of trauma”

A beautiful narrative and deep-dive explanation of the complexities of trauma and how it can be stored in, have profound impact, and consume the body. Renowned trauma expert, Bessel van der Kolk, tells his story of his time spent over three decades working with Veterans.

He transforms our understanding of complex traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neurofeedback, mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other therapies - a way to reclaim lives after the gripping impact of trauma.
