The Body Keeps the Score
Why I Recommend It: This book was groundbreaking in revealing the full system impact of traumatic experience. Traditional talk therapy generally focuses on challenging thoughts and changing behaviors. Trauma informed care and healing involves attention to the whole system including the physical impact and instinct of the body.
Best For: Anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the mind-body connection and the role of body work in recovery.
My Biggest Takeaway: The origin of trauma was a full system experience. Likewise, recovery requires us to attend to our physical bodies as well.
