The Body Keeps the Score – Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.

How do our life experiences shape the way we think, feel, and respond to the world?

In The Body Keeps the Score, renowned psychiatrist Dr. Bessel van der Kolk explores how trauma affects both the brain and the body. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and scientific research, he explains why difficult experiences can continue to influence emotions, relationships, and physical wellbeing long after they occur.

The book presents an accessible overview of how trauma works while introducing evidence-based approaches that support recovery, resilience, and emotional healing. Topics include neuroscience, memory, mindfulness, movement, and therapeutic practices that help people reconnect with themselves.

Whether you’re interested in psychology, emotional wellbeing, or understanding the science behind human behavior, The Body Keeps the Score offers valuable insights that have influenced mental health professionals and readers around the world.
