Marks on the Body — Healing Trauma with Brain, Mind and Body - Bessel van der Kolk

Traumatized people are everywhere: families of war veterans suffer over generations, many people have experienced abuse or grew up in an alcoholic family, and unfortunately many people suffer from domestic violence. Bad experiences leave their mark on the mind, emotions and even the body. And unfortunately, the traumatized person's suffering often also affects their loved ones.

World-renowned trauma specialist Bessel Van der Kolk has been working with trauma patients for over thirty years. In his book, Jjejet kehossa, van der Kolk observes traumatization and traumatic stress from a broader perspective and reveals that traumatic experiences actually cause physical changes in our brain - especially in the parts of the brain that deal with pleasure, attachment, control and trust.

Damage caused by trauma can be repaired with many methods, which van der Kolk presents in his book. The book examines, among other things, the effects of neuroplasticity therapy, mindfulness and yoga in dealing with trauma.

Traces in the body offers alternatives to drugs and traditional therapy that have been found to be effective. This book will help you get your life back on track!
