The body keeps the score. How to leave psychological trauma in the past

Traumatic experiences become etched in the body and force a person to relive the pain again and again. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk took on the responsibility of finding ways to break free from this trap. His practical and theoretical research into psychological trauma is invaluable when it comes to restructuring perception, understanding the cause of suffering, finding an effective treatment, and rediscovering oneself.

This book contains comprehensive information related to trauma, covering various aspects such as:

• discoveries in neuroscience;
• causes of trauma rooted in problematic relationships;
• consequences of trauma, such as amnesia, dissociation, depressive disorders, etc.;
• treatment methods, both non-pharmacological and those involving pharmaceutical drugs;
• examples of social projects that can help in the readaptation of patients into society.
