Cory Richards Instagram – The Bible of trauma in many ways, today’s book report is on “The Body Keeps Score” by Bessel van der Kolk.
We tend to use the word “PTSD” too much these days; again, it’s a very specific diagnosis. While we don’t all have this diagnosis, what we all have is trauma. He points out in this book that everyone experiences trauma; it’s a part of life.
Trauma reshapes us on a cellular level, our brain, and our bodies. He explores what trauma is, how it changes us, and also offers some insight on solutions for the maladaptive behaviors because of trauma.
It informed a lot of how I talk about trauma in my memoir and is just generally a fabulous read. | Posted on 18/Jun/2024 00:33:33
