The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel
Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.
Let's read, learn, and embrace the beauty of neurodiversity together!
Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking journey through literature that explores the multifaceted world of neurodiversity. Each quarter, we select books that delve into diverse perspectives, experiences, and challenges related to neurodivergent individuals and communities.
From memoirs and novels to scholarly works and essays, our curated book selections offer rich insights into topics such as ADHD, mental health, autism, dyslexia and more. We believe that by engaging with these narratives, we can deepen our understanding, foster empathy, and promote inclusivity and acceptance of neurodiversity.
Our book club provides a supportive and welcoming space for open discussions, reflections, and connections with fellow readers who share a passion for exploring the complexities of the human mind. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, have a loved one who is, or simply want to broaden your perspective, we invite you to join us on this literary journey of discovery and growth.
