Description

Bessel van der Kolk's groundbreaking work on traumatic stress offers a new understanding of how it affects the mind and body. Trauma is a common experience that can have a lasting impact on individuals and their loved ones.

Dr. van der Kolk reveals how traumatic stress can literally change the brain's wiring, affecting areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He presents innovative treatments, including neurofeedback, mindfulness techniques, play, and yoga, that have proven to be effective alternatives to traditional therapies.

Based on his own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score provides a comprehensive approach to healing from trauma, offering hope and a way to reclaim lives.
