“The Body Keeps the Score” By Bessel Van Der Kolk - Softcover Book

This is a serious, readable look at how traumatic stress can affect both mind and body. Bessel van der Kolk brings together research, case histories, and decades of clinical work to explain why overwhelming experiences can continue to shape the way people feel, relate, and respond.

The book also surveys approaches including neurofeedback, mindfulness, movement, yoga, and theater. It is a substantial read, but a useful one for understanding the body’s place in trauma and recovery.
