The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
In the Body Keeps the Score, Van der Kolk 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 offers new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity. Based on his own research and that of other leading specialists, this book exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal-- and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.
