Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope …

A must-read to understand reactions to trauma

This is the first time I've ever gotten an explanation of repressed memories that didn't sound like bullshit, and I'm very happy for it. Kolk describes how traumatic events impact our brain function, how traumatic memories are stored differently to normal memories, and how modern therapy techniques like EMDR and neurofeedback are allowing people to finally retrain their brains in ways talk therapy and pharmaceuticals struggle to do.

Review of 'The Body Keeps the Score' on 'Goodreads'

5 izar

Hard and unpleasant, yet highly valuable read, at least for me. Sadly, it made me understanding lots of people and lots of happenings around me notably better. It also helped me to differentiate non-scientific BS from the ways my unresolved fear, anxiety and doubt can make my feel physicaly sick. However, should you ever considered reading this book, be warned that it discusses every single worst thing that a human can experience and yet survive. All the trigger warnings ahead.
