BOOK review by Asha
The Body Keeps The Score
By Bessel Van der Kolk
Read this to deep dive into understanding how an experience or witness of trauma impacts a patient's quality of life. It explains how PTSD patients experience trauma over the years after a traumatic experience. Using scientific and philosophical approaches to explain both neurobiology and the brain & mind-body connection, it provides an interesting reference for a therapist to understand their clients behavior.
The Body Keeps the Score is a cutting-edge offering for the general reader to comprehend the complex effects of trauma, and a guide to a wide array of scientifically informed approaches to not only reduce suffering, but to move beyond mere survival—and to thrive.
