THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE by BESSEL VAN DER KOLK MD

PAPERBACK

"The Body Keeps the Score" by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is a groundbreaking exploration of how trauma reshapes both the mind and body—and how healing must involve both. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and neuroscience research, van der Kolk reveals how trauma imprints itself on the nervous system, often leading to anxiety, dissociation, and chronic health issues. The book emphasizes that traditional talk therapy alone may not be enough, and highlights alternative treatments like EMDR, yoga, neurofeedback, and theater as powerful tools for recovery.

It’s a deeply compassionate and scientifically rich guide that has helped redefine how we understand and treat trauma.
