About the author

​Bessel van der Kolk MD spends his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults.

In 1984, he set up one of the first clinical/research centers in the US dedicated to study and treatment of traumatic stress in civilian populations, which has trained numerous researchers and clinicians specializing in the study and treatment of traumatic stress, and which has been continually funded to research the impact of traumatic stress and effective treatment interventions. He did the first studies on the effects of SSRIs on PTSD; was a member of the first neuroimaging team to investigate how trauma changes brain processes, and did the first research linking BPD and deliberate self-injury to trauma and neglect in early childhood.

[Cate Andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

As someone who has danced stopped danced stopped having a knowledge within my muscles that allows me to begin again dance exploration is often non verbal and difficult to explain to others. My fwlt memory has a history and a memory. This corporeality, body-memory knowledge opened me to empathetically rethinking trauma and how diverse the experience and presentation of trauma. Resilience I have learned is neurobiological and building resilience isn't easy, especially in families who have experienced the unimaginable cult or ritual abuse, war, and repeated coercive control tactics to remove their integrity and deny their right to feel. The right to have rights, our vulnerability, extends to the right to heal and feel. Van der Kolk has understood the creative ways we can heal as well as the creative ways the body remembers trauma. I have heard ex dancers speak of their muscles weeping during loss and grief. It sounds poetic but for them it was felt, real and very present as part of their experience. I recommend this book to those interested in supporting trauma and seeking support, not simply counsellors and social workers and also teachers and educators who work in trauma settings like primary schools, high schools and families in need of interaction and social support after a traumatuc event. Thank you for an approachable read with real cases that evidence successes and bring hope.

"Traumatic experiences do leave traces, whether on a large scale (on our histories and cultures) or close to home, on our families, with dark secrets being imperceptibly passed down through generations. They also leave traces on our minds and emotions, on our capacity for joy and intimacy, and even on our biology and immune systems."
