Bessel van der Kolk's book, "The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma," is a groundbreaking work that explores the complex impact of trauma on the mind and body.

Through a blend of case studies, scientific research, and personal insights, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of how trauma affects individuals and offers a new perspective on treatment and healing.
"The Body Keeps the Score" is not only a scholarly work but also a compassionate guide that offers hope to those affected by trauma. Van der Kolk introduces innovative therapies and approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy, emphasizing the importance of integrating body-based practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and somatic experiencing. The book has been widely acclaimed for its contributions to the field of trauma studies and has become a must-read for therapists, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the profound effects of trauma and the pathways to recovery.

    Wonderful to see the progression of Bessel's understanding of the consequences of over-active stress responses due to traumatic experiences. Great stuff and excellent interview by Inside Serene. It is such a shame that trauma is so often avoided as a subject of sharing in 12-step groups, but, since most addicts/alcoholics are trauma survivors, it is little wonder that they run from any mention of the subject, lest they are triggered into a reliving flashback. Along with Bessel's wonderful book, I recommend Pete Walker's "Complex PTSD". Best wishes to one and all that know we are not alone and nolonger need endure trauma. God bless us, one and all!

    Always a fan of Bessel, who I met in 1997 in MI. PTSD is a condition resulting from exposure (s) to near death circumstances and is easily triggered by later circumstances resembling those in the near death surround. I think of CPTSD as a similar response to early childhood exposure to near death, being "scared to death", let alone over and over again. Our core limbic or "survival" brain has one job, keeping us and our species alive. Thus, the "body" must remember to survive, "keeps the score". Many thanks to Bessel, a big fan of EMDR in 1997, which many of us understand as a form of self-hypnosis.

    Also, Gabor Mate's work is exemplary and a must read in this area/subject. "The Myth of Normal" is most recent.

    100% I love Gabor Mate's work.🙂 Hypnotherapy of war neuroses by John Watkins is excellent reading too regarding PTSD.

    I wish people would understand that being relinquished for adoption is trauma and that it lasts a lifetime.

    I am sure that's true, but it can be mitigated.

    The woman’s constant “ehmm” when he’s talking is annoying..
