About the Book :

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.

Good afternoon,

If interested Victim Service Center of Central Florida could potentially be present during and after the book read series, to offer support/ info for anyone who may be impacted by the book the Body Keeps the Score. As the rape crisis center for the tri-county area, we would be happy to be there to provide information to those who need to be connected to crisis counseling or therapy support.

Please let me know if this is something you would like VSC to assist with.

Thank you.
