As a practicing psychologist in India, I often search for books that not only explain mental health in depth but also offer practical tools for healing. The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is one of those rare books that does both. This powerful book helped me look at trauma not just as a mental or emotional experience, but as something that lives in the body.

Dr. van der Kolk draws from over 30 years of experience in trauma research and therapy. He explains how trauma changes the brain, impacts the nervous system, and disconnects us from ourselves. The book explores why talking about trauma is not always enough and why healing often needs to involve the body.

โข A Whole-Person Approach: I loved how the book emphasized body awareness, mindfulness, and non-verbal healing methods. These are especially useful when clients find it hard to express themselves in words.
โข Neuroscience Made Simple: The way he explains brain functions and trauma responses is clear and easy to share with clients.
โข Real Stories, Real People: The book includes powerful case studies that made me reflect on the resilience and strength I see in my clients every day.
