Bessel van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score is a groundbreaking exploration of how trauma affects the brain, mind, and body, and how healing requires addressing all three. Through scientific research and compelling case studies, van der Kolk reveals why talk therapy alone often fails trauma survivors and what approaches actually work. The book becomes both educational resource and compassionate guide for anyone seeking to understand or recover from trauma.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because van der Kolk understands that trauma isn't just a psychological problem, it's a physical one. This book reminds us that healing requires more than talking about what happened, it requires helping the body learn it's safe.
