The Body Keeps the Score ([link removed])

Author Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, and has spent over three decades working with survivors. In this book, 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 and offers new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity.
