In this episode I review, the New York Times bestseller, ‘The Body Keeps the Score’ Brain, Mind, Body in the Healing of Trauma’ by Bessel van der Kolk Bessel van der Kolk is a Boston based psychiatrist whose work focuses on the interaction of attachment, neurobiology, and developmental aspects of trauma’s effects on people. The Body Keeps the Score is the inspiring story of how a group of therapists and scientists— together with their courageous and memorable patients—integrate recent advances in brain science, attachment research, and body awareness into treatments that can free trauma survivors from the tyranny of the past. They also offer experiences that directly counteract the helplessness and invisibility associated with trauma, enabling both adults and children to reclaim ownership of their bodies and their lives.
