Do you know that you can Overcome Your Traumatic Stress Easily? FACING TRAUMA I don't know what you know about trauma, but I do know that this book is about to deepen your understanding and give you the enlightenment of Archimedes when he hopped out of his tub butt naked and into the streets screaming Eureka! The author, Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk, lets us know in this book that trauma doesn't only happen to a specific group of people. It isn't limited to a particular area. It happens everywhere around us: to combat soldiers, to our friends and family, and maybe even to you. Did you know that if there are five people in a room one of them was sexually molested as a child? It would be an outrageous claim to make if it weren't backed up by research done by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention which revealed that: one in five Americans was sexually molested as a child; one in four was beaten by a parent to the point of a mark being left on their body; and one in three couples engages in physical violence. A quarter of us grew up with alcoholic relatives, and one out of eight people have witnessed their mother being beaten or hit. These are trauma facts, the ones we know of in America. Who knows the values in other continents? Trauma has always existed throughout time, through wars, plagues and famine, leaving traces of its effect everywhere: in our histories and cultures, in our minds and emotions, on our bodies, on our ability to feel love and joy, on our ability to be intimate. As humans we are resilient, continuing to move through time and evolution no matter the event or struggle. But the effects of trauma are not just suffered by those who go through traumatic events, it spreads: to friends and family, especially to family. No one wants to hear their sister got raped.

#1 New York Times bestseller “Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.” —Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times bestseller Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.
