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

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Bessel van der Kolk is a pioneer in the evidence-based treatment of trauma, especially complex trauma. It was a difficult book to get through, given the descriptions of severe abuse, but well worth it. Ultimately, the tone of the book is hopeful, as it shows that PTSD is a treatable condition.
