This season we will discuss Bessel van der Kolk's book, The Body Keeps the Score

Bessel van der Kolk, psychiatrist, author, and leading traumatic stress researcher, uses scientific research to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain and how innovative treatments can offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity.
The Body Keeps the Score offers a fascinating dive into the hidden epidemic of trauma, what research has uncovered about it in the last 30+ years, and how to better diagnose, confront, and heal it. Through this book, van der Kolk exposes the tremendous power of our relationships to both hurt and to heal–and offers new hope for reclaiming our lives.
