Eleni Kalvou McDermott, Integrative Counsellor, recommends:
The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk
“The book I’d recommend is The Body Keeps the Score. It provides an in-depth exploration of how trauma impacts both the mind and the body, showing that traumatic experiences aren’t just stored in our memories but can also manifest physically. This makes it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand the lasting effects of trauma, beyond the psychological symptoms.”
The Blurb:
The Body Keeps the Score is the inspiring story of how a group of therapists and scientists—together with their courageous and memorable patients—has struggled to integrate recent advances in brain science, attachment research, and body awareness into treatments that can free trauma survivors from the tyranny of the past. Drawing on more than thirty years at the forefront of research and clinical practice, Bessel van der Kolk shows that the terror and isolation at the core of trauma literally reshape both brain and body. What distinguishes this book is that the author is both a scientific researcher and an active therapist, making for a deeply personal, analytic, and highly readable approach to trauma recovery.
