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

    by testsuphomeAdmin
    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.
