“The body remembers everything” is not a threat or a sentence, but just a fact. But cuts heal, bruises go away, broken bones grow together, and some injuries do not go away for many years and continue to cause pain. What do we know about them and how to deal with them? In the book “The Body Remembers Everything”, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk talks about how to help yourself and your loved ones regain a full life. Combining research in the field of trauma and his own experience, he explains how trauma can deprive a person of self-control, close relationships and the ability to feel joy. His patients are people who have suffered from domestic violence, the horrors of war, other people's cruelty and indifference. Using their stories as an example, Dr. Bessel shows how important an individual approach is and how many different treatment practices exist. He encourages you to accept the true nature of trauma and explore ways to treat it, so that people who have lost control over their own lives have a chance to recover.
