    The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

    by

    The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk is a ground­break­ing book that explores the deep con­nec­tion between trau­ma, the brain, and the body. Draw­ing on years of research and clin­i­cal expe­ri­ence, van der Kolk shows how trau­ma reshapes both mind and body, and offers trans­for­ma­tive insights into heal­ing through ther­a­pies like mind­ful­ness, yoga, and neu­ro­feed­back. A must-read for any­one seek­ing to under­stand trau­ma and its effects, this book is both infor­ma­tive and deeply com­pas­sion­ate.
