Book Summary of The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van der Kolk, M. D.
About
The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel Van der Kolk, M. D. • Trauma can occur anywhere, any time and to anyone. It takes on many forms – war, rape, crime, car accidents and so on. To the onlooker, it might appear that a traumatic event has a beginning, middle and end. But for those who have experienced it, the trauma just doesn’t end. It becomes a part of them, an inescapable horror present throughout their daily lives – an endless, visceral reminder of their terror and helplessness. In The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk, one of the world’s preeminent psychiatrists specializing in post-traumatic stress, reveals how traditional methods of therapy – talk therapy and medications – are limited in their effectiveness to treat trauma. He takes us step-by-step through the physiological effects of trauma, and explains why the brain remembers trauma in a completely different way than it remembers everything else. Then, he takes us on a journey through holistic methods of treating trauma – methods that engage the body and soul together in order to rewire the brain and provide relief from the devastating effects of post-traumatic stress.
In this summary you will learn:
- Why trauma continues to profoundly affect individuals long after the instant of trauma has passed.
- Why it is essential that our systems of labeling and diagnosing trauma-based disorders continue to adjust and evolve with new research.
- Why traditional talk therapy and drug therapies must be supplemented with holistic healing methods such as EMDR, yoga and massage.

Det her er en MEGET vel gennemført resumé af The body keeps the score, hvor man som lytter virkelig kan forstå de vigtigste budskaper. Meget god oplæser, med pauser og en nærmest overdrevet pedagogisk stemme, som dog vinder i længden. Resumén fylder i højeste grad sin funktion som lærebog, med solskare take home messages! Helt klart den bedste sammenfatning af den her bog, af de flere forskellige jeg har lyttet til. 👍
