Does the body keep the score?

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van Der Kolk

Bessel Van der Kolk in his insightful book The Body Keeps the Score shows how connected our mental and physical responses are.

This is a must read for anyone interested in understanding how overwhelming experiences effect our bodies as well as our minds. Part history and part science, Bessel Van der Kolk brings an extraordinary depth of understanding about the pain and chaos of trauma, restoring hope and the possibility of joy instead of suffering.

As with all trauma work, it is hard going at times, and my recommendation to read the book has to come with a reminder to seek out support if you need to do so.

If you would like to read the book it is widely available online and in bookshops.
