Book Description:
#1 New York Times bestseller
“Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.” —Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies
A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times bestseller.
Everyone goes through hard times. Veterans and their families have to deal with the painful effects of war. One in five Americans has been sexually abused, one in four grew up with an alcoholic parent, and one in three couples have fought physically. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is one of the world’s top trauma experts. He has worked with trauma survivors for more than 30 years. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific discoveries to show how trauma changes the shape of both the body and the brain, making it harder for people to feel pleasure, get involved, control themselves, and trust. He looks at new treatments, like neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga, that can help people improve by using the brain’s natural ability to change. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s research and that of other top experts, The Body Keeps the Score shows how much our relationships can hurt and heal us, giving us new hope for getting our lives back.
