About this ebook
Trauma happens in everyday life. Veterans and their families experience the aftermath of combat, one in five Americans has been molested, one in four grew up as alcoholic, one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. One of the pioneers on trauma, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk has spent three decades studying how trauma shapes the body and the brain which affects the trauma victim’s capacity for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He leads us through innovative treatments that offer alternative paths to recovery by activating the brain’s neuroplasticity. The Body Keeps the Score shows various studies by leading experts where they expose the power relationships have in hurting and healing—and it shows hope for regaining control over our own lives.

BOOK OVERVIEW
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk wrote The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma where he talks about a different perspective of stress disorder and trauma recovery. During his thirty years of experience as an expert on traumatic stress, he concluded that healing and recovery should no longer be restricted within traditional approaches to therapy and can best be used as supplements to the new paradigm of trauma recovery: control of the body and mind through reorganization and neuroplasticity.
He aims for both the trauma survivor and therapist to benefit from this by emphasizing the rediscovery of trauma in war veterans and understanding of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He shares the value of reorganization of perception and, with the progress of neuroscience in studying trauma, he shows a deeper understanding of how the mind works. Van der Kolk talks about the methodologies and results of various studies on the brain and PTSD. Through this book, the reader will be able to understand what really is behind trauma.
A big portion of the book specifies the various cases of PTSD and other mental illnesses which accounts for real people supporting neuroscientific concepts and procedures. Van der Kolk connects testimonies of recovery with the use of his body-mind treatment approach, focusing on recovering the Self and how alternative methods become more effective than traditional treatment. He then refocuses on what the future of society says about the development of children and how important it is to focus on the youth’s mental health. Through studies of attachment and attunement, he shows how they can manifest on this day and age—that is, child abuse and developmental trauma.
Other parts of the book focuses on the innovative technology used by van der Kolk and his team where he shows how the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) works, as well as yoga for self-regulation, the internal family systems therapy (IFS) models, psychomotor therapy through tableaus and structures, neurofeedback, theater programs for trauma victims, among others. However, he places a heavy emphasis on the importance of communal rhythms through art, music, dance, and other forms of collective movement.
The book shows how this enlightening collection of literature can be applied to anybody’s life. Day after day, we experience stressful events that can affect our well-being and van der Kolk aims to help us with this body of knowledge even with the slightest signs of stress. We clearly can’t deny
