Your body remembers everything

Bessel van der Kolk, leading researcher and one of the world's foremost experts in traumatic stress, presents a bold new model for healing from trauma. Psychological trauma is a fact of life. Studies have shown that at least one in five people experience harassment, one in four grow up with addicts, and two out of three couples are involved in physical violence. These conditions inevitably leave effects on the minds and emotions, and also on the body. Unfortunately, those affected by psychological trauma often reflect their nervous pressure onto their partners and children. Dr. van der Kolk has spent more than three decades working with trauma survivors, and through this book, he has succeeded in changing our understanding of stress caused by psychological trauma, revealing how to rewire the nervous system—specifically the areas responsible for pleasure, social interaction, self-control, and trust—and explaining the impact of innovative treatments, including neurofeedback, meditation, prayer, play, yoga, and other therapies, as well as offering proven and successful alternatives to medication and talk therapy, and the path to recovery and reclaiming life.
