About The Body Keeps the Score Dr. Bessel van der Kolk

In The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. van der Kolk explores the effects of trauma on the human body and mind, and also offers new techniques for healing from trauma. The book is the result of Dr. van der Kolk’s research and his direct work with people who have survived traumatic experiences, ranging from childhood abuse to wartime combat.

The Body Keeps the Score highlights the fact that trauma is something that happens to many, many people and, if it goes untreated, it can cause pain not only for the sufferer, but also for the sufferer’s partner, family, children, and friends. What’s more, trauma has been shown to affect the sufferer’s physical well-being, in addition to his or her mental and emotional well-being.

In other words, if you suffer from trauma, you must learn how to heal it if you want to live a healthy, happy, peaceful life. Dr. van der Kolk shows you how.
