I am currently reading Bessel Van Der Kolk’s pivotal work, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma. Truly, I’d place it in the top five books I’ve ever read.
This book is remarkably insightful and impactful in addressing how traumatic experiences are carried in the body. In addition to explaining the physiology of post-traumatic symptoms in detail, he uplifts a number of somatic approaches to healing trauma and the ways it’s impacting our physiology and relationships.
After experiencing the collective trauma of this pandemic, I am recommending this book to everyone I know.
Have you read it? What do you think?
Also, what what are you reading lately? What would you recommend?
