In "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel A. van der Kolk, the author, delves into the pervasive presence of trauma in society, affecting veterans, abuse survivors, individuals with alcoholic family backgrounds, and those who have experienced physical violence in relationships. Drawing from over three decades of expertise, Dr. van der Kolk explores how trauma not only impacts the mind but also reshapes the body, compromising one's ability to experience pleasure, engage with the world, exercise self-control, and trust others. He discusses cutting-edge treatments, such as neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga, which leverage the brain's natural neuroplasticity to facilitate recovery. Grounded in Dr. van der Kolk's own research and insights from other leading experts, the book underscores the profound influence of human relationships in both causing and healing trauma, ultimately offering hope for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives.
