The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk

5.0

This book is a MUST read for anyone who works in therapy, schools, healthcare… but really just a must read for everyone. Because everyone has experienced some form of trauma, whether big or small, and comes in contact with traumatized people. Van see Kolks book is probably THE most important trauma book out there. It’s crucial to understand the impact trauma has on our bodies and how that impacts everything about us and how we function. Though it took me a while to get through this book, that is not due to lack of enjoyment. This book is dense and rich with information, and I wanted to soak in every word and take notes.
