The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

What if the key to healing isn't just in talking about the past, but in understanding how the body itself holds the memory of trauma? In his revolutionary book, The Body Keeps the Score, pioneering psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk explains how traumatic experiences literally reshape both brain and body. This essential guide moves beyond the limits of talk therapy, revealing the science behind how our bodies get stuck in a state of alarm and exploring innovative pathways to finally feel safe, whole, and in charge of our own lives.
