“The Body Keeps the Score” by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is a groundbreaking exploration of trauma and its profound impact on both the mind and body. Drawing on his extensive experience as a psychiatrist and researcher, van der Kolk delves into the ways in which trauma, whether from childhood abuse, combat experiences, or other sources, can manifest in physical and psychological symptoms. The book examines the neurobiology of trauma and presents a comprehensive overview of innovative therapeutic approaches that aim to help individuals recover and reclaim their lives. Van der Kolk emphasizes the importance of recognizing the embodied nature of trauma, highlighting how it can become lodged in the body’s memory and contribute to a range of mental health disorders.
