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

By Dr. Bessel van der Kolk
#1 New York Times Bestseller

Synopsis:
In The Body Keeps the Score, pioneering trauma researcher Dr. Bessel van der Kolk reshapes how we understand the lingering impact of trauma on both the body and the mind. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge neuroscience, van der Kolk reveals how trauma literally rewires the brain—impairing memory, emotional regulation, and trust—while altering the body’s stress response systems.

This groundbreaking book offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded exploration of trauma’s long-term effects and presents revolutionary methods for healing. From EMDR and neurofeedback to yoga, theater, and mindfulness, van der Kolk explores powerful treatment strategies that tap into the brain’s neuroplasticity to reawaken healing and restore wholeness.
