Prior to my traumatic situation, I'd coincidently started to read this book about trauma recovery. The Body Keeps The Score is a New York Times Bestseller.
Bessel Van Der Kolk has spent his professional life studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences. This book shares his findings and the most effective therapeutic approaches.
The traditional approach to trauma is talk therapy. Bessel shares how this approach can be limited. Instead, the book shares how approaches that integrate the mind and body lead to better results. This includes mindfulness, social connection and human touch.
This book is a great read for anyone in helping professions such as coaches, mentors or therapists. It's also recommended for anyone seeking to understand more about personal trauma.
Here is the full summary
