Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
Author: Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.
Trauma is a fact of life. From veterans coping with combat, to children growing up in alcoholic homes, to survivors of abuse—millions live with its hidden impact. In this groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost trauma experts, explains how trauma literally reshapes the body and brain, disrupting self-control, pleasure, trust, and connection.
Drawing on over three decades of clinical practice and research, he shows how innovative treatments—like neurofeedback, EMDR, mindfulness, yoga, theater, and more—can help survivors activate the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to heal. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with deeply human case studies, this book offers new hope for reclaiming lives and restoring wholeness.
