World-renowned trauma expert and best-selling author of 'The Body Keeps the Score', Dr Bessel van der Kolk discusses how trauma affects the brain. His most recent 2014 New York Times Science best seller, 'The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Treatment of Trauma' transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neurofeedback, somatically based therapies, EMDR, psychodrama, play, yoga, and other therapies. In his PTSD Relief Therapy series we discover how to restore safety in our body and agency in our mind.
