The Body Keeps the Score Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Yeah, I mean, the body does keep score. That's a famous psychology book.

I read that book, The Body Keeps the Score, and it was completely illuminating about this exact subject.

Your deal. Yeah, mine's in the therapy space too and it's Body Keeps the Score. I listen to it on audio. I also have the actual book, but it's very scientific. So that's why it's helpful for me to listen to it sometimes and even read along, but just very helpful in understanding any stress or trauma in our brains from just understanding what people have gone through and then your own stress and trauma. And for my adopted kids, it was helpful for me to understand what's going on with their brain and that what it can do to our bodies, the traumatic stress. And if we don't deal with it, that it'll start, we'll have different ailments.

I've listened to it and have the book. Yeah, I mean, and I go back to it at different times because it was recommended to me by one of my kids' therapists and then in just a lot that I was experiencing at the time because he does different studies with veterans and alcoholics and other people that experience trauma. But then once they got the right therapies and they were able to rewire their brain, like they could see again or walk again, like crazy things of how your body keeps the score.

It's just very fascinating the research that was done and I highly recommend it.

But then once they got the right therapies and they were able to rewire their brain like they could see again or walk again like crazy things of how your body keeps the score.

I really got into like the body keeps the score and the body knows the way.

one of the first books I really dive into is how the body keeps score

What's the name of Besser Van Der Kolk's book? What's the name of it? Is that the Trauma Stewardship? Nope, that's a phenomenal, phenomenal read. I forgot her name off the top of my head. That's a phenomenal read but no, the name of Van Der Kolk's book is The Body Keeps the Score.

And what made you a great ICU nurse is you could navigate even when your body was falling apart underneath you and now that you've stopped it still registers, man. Yeah, that sounds exactly right.

So, there's a famous book by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. You probably heard me say it on the show. I used to talk about all the time, especially at the beginning of the show. It's called The Body Keeps the Score.

The title of Bessel Colk's Vander Kolk's book is the body keeps the score whether you want to keep it or not.

your body is keeping the score the whole time as Vanderquark says.

You've heard me say over and over the title of the great Bessel van der Kolk's book, The Body Keeps the Score, but the body keeps the score.

Your body is keeping the score as Vander Cook says. It's running and running and running and running.

Even before I read the book, I remember seeing the title of Vander Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score and the title was convicting.

And that book, the title says everything. The body keeps the score. Your mind can hide, but your body registers everything.

not realizing the level of energy Your Body Keeps the Score, the level of energy of hate and not willing to forgive that I was keeping in my body which was blocking me from the abundance frequency,

And then the biology of belief and how energy and how any kind of vibrational frequency that we experience sends a message to ourselves. And we know this through MRIs. We know this through the way we even detect cancer. So this is being used in the medical community. This is not woo-woo, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I would also encourage you to read the book The Body Keeps the Score. It's one of the best books about trauma theory and treatment.

It is extremely educational, very eye-opening.

The book 'The Body Keeps the Score' is the number one definitive book on trauma, so dense and insane but what he's done so many studies on people with like PTSD, but even just small forms of trauma and what what it does, yeah, the black and white thinking.

She had mentioned that in her book about stress that you can actually tell people that they seem like the kind of person who can handle this and you see that person feeling better about their own capability and handling a specific situation or problem so that's kind of nice.

When I interviewed the psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk for the first time, his book The Body Keeps the Score was about to be published.

And The Body Keeps the Score has become one of the most widely read books in the pandemic world.

His knowledge is so very practically helpful, a distinctively illuminating perspective towards meeting what is happening in our world and inside each of us.

Bessel van der Kolk's work on the brain, the body, and the human reaction to overwhelming experience that we call trauma has met its moment. We've been hearing foundational insights from my first interview with him when his now famous book, The Body Keeps the Score, was just about to be published.

have you read the book the body keep score

there's another great book I'm pretty the opposite name it's a good actually thing let's call the body keep score and basically the idea is that we're feeling these things we feel deeply our body sort of tracks all the things that happens to us you know from the moment we're born and this idea that even if you're not feeling it even if you're not dealing with it the consequences are there so obviously therapy is a part of this relationships are a part of this sharing connecting with others is a big part of this which I think we have to understand as being part of the Stoic experience

I've been reading a book an old book written by an old author a doctor who said the body keeps score you read it? the body keeps score so everything I didn't say and everything I held in

and everything I suppressed and everything I wouldn't get out the body kept score the body kept score and so I survived heroes I survived heroes I survived
