    An attractive new alternative to tackle traumatic stress other than expensive drugs and talk therapy. Traumatic stress is something that sadly, is getting more and more common. It's effect on the mind and body are atrocious and it can even affect your biology rearranging your brain's wiring.

    "In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past." – Bessel A. van der Kolk

    Having three decades of experience working with survivors, Bessel van der Kolk has developed an array of techniques and methods to reactivate the areas affected by traumatic stress. The alternative offered by this trauma expert offers patients to face their condition in a new way which is also cheaper than the rest. Bessel van der Kolk stresses that the only alternatives to curing traumatic stress are not drugs and talking therapy, his method is science-backed and has obtained amazing results.

    P.S. The Body Keeps the Score is an amazing book that will show you a method to face traumatic stress that is entirely different than anything done before.

    • 5/5
      I highly recommend this book for therapists and survivors of trauma. The insights Dr. Bessel has put into this book are enlightening and helpful, especially to those who are not familiar with the persistent aspects of trauma.
    • 5/5

      “The Body Keeps the Score" is an exceptional book which will be a classic of modern psychiatric thought. I highly recommend this book for therapists and survivors of trauma. The insights Dr. Bessel has put into this book are enlightening and helpful, especially to those who are not familiar with the persistent aspects of trauma.This book is the best book I have read about emotional issues due to childhood trauma, including emotional trauma that did not involve physical abuse.
    • 4/5
      The book helped me to be able to detach enough to observe what triggered what emotional responses and enabled me to practice understanding self care in a manner that seemed impossible before.

      I highly recommend this book for therapists and survivors of trauma. The insights Dr. Bessel has put into this book are enlightening and helpful, especially to those who are not familiar with the persistent aspects of trauma.
    • 5/5
      It is an excellent book, thorough and comprehensive, science-focused and evidence-based but not afraid to discuss therapies that work but have not yet been thoroughly studied.
    • 4/5
      I would recommend the book to anyone interested in trauma, mental health, or science in general. I noted so many well-written passages and cannot wait to reference this book in the future.
    • 4/5
      I found the book fascinating! Easily the best book on trauma I have ever read.
    • 5/5
      This was suggested to me by a friend and I was skeptical. Trauma. That's only for war veterans right? While war vets do come by the PTSD diagnosis rightfully, this book made me see just how acutely all humans are effected by trauma to some degree or another. It's just part of our experience in this realm. And as we heal ourselves, we heal the world. Dr. van der Kolk provides many, many examples from his practice throughout the years, and even from his own personal experiences. Some examples are slightly disturbing to take in, but necessary to the whole of this work. He lays out his years of research and progress and explains all of it in terms that anyone can understand. I have been profoundly moved, and will never see the world the same. And I mean that in a good way. This book has broadened my understanding of my past and it's residue, and has allowed me to see my fellow humans in a more compassionate light. Everyone should read this book. Seriously.

      I haven't read the original book before and at the same time this summary made me feel like I understood my body so much more! (even though I only read the summary!) Pretty cool idea! These summaries are much more in depth than those in blinkist and Scribd reading app on desktop is really good which could maximize the speedreading techniques that I've recently learnt.

      Anyways! This book is great if you're looking to know much more about your own body and how to better protect/grow it without reading a long and thick book!

      This is a tremendous volume of great information. I eagerly read it page after page, chapter after chapter. There is such good progress being made in the treatment of trauma and it is here to learn about.

      This book is incredibly emotional to read. Then, you realize you've highlighted just about every page because it resonates with you; it can be such a tragic and liberating moment to learn that others have experienced some of the same horrific & sadistic pain as you have.
