In 'The Body Keeps the Score,' Dr. Bessel A. Van der Kolk draws upon his vast experience as a leading trauma expert to offer an innovative approach towards understanding and healing trauma. This seminal work reveals how trauma impacts the brain, affecting areas responsible for pleasure, self-control, engagement, and trust. Van der Kolk explores the residues of trauma on our biology and relationships, and how it can be passed across generations. Through case studies and scientific research, the book presents effective treatments beyond the conventional talking and drug therapies, such as neurofeedback, mindfulness, yoga, and other therapies that harness the brain's neuroplasticity. 'The Body Keeps the Score' is a transformative guide that challenges traditional views and provides a beacon of hope for those seeking to overcome the insidious effects of trauma.
