ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel van der Kolk explores the profound impact of trauma on both the mind and body. Drawing on decades of research and clinical experience, van der Kolk examines how traumatic experiences reshape the brain, disrupt emotional regulation, and manifest in physical symptoms. The book highlights innovative therapies, such as neurofeedback, yoga, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (E.M.D.R.), that address trauma holistically by integrating both mind and body. It emphasizes the importance of understanding trauma in a compassionate and comprehensive way to promote healing and recovery.
