"The Body Keeps the Score" explores how trauma and the brain's initial reaction to it, often involving suppression through forgetfulness or selfblame. However, the body remembers. According to author Bessel van der Kolk, the body undergoes physiological changes like altered stress hormone levels. The book is not just a clinical text but an engaging read, offering a deep and nuanced understanding of #trauma and #PTSD. It moves beyond simple selfhelp, providing a thorough exploration rather than just surfacelevel advice.
