Description
By Bessel van der Kolk
Van der Kolk has spent more than thirty years working with survivors of trauma, and his central point is that trauma is not stored as a memory to be talked about but as a physical state: it reshapes the brain and the body, and leaves people reacting to a danger that has already passed.
He traces what that means for veterans, abused children and survivors of assault, and why talking cures often fail them. The second half covers what has worked in his practice: EMDR, neurofeedback, yoga, theatre and bodywork.
