CHUM Book Club: The Body Keeps the Score
CHUM Book Club: The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
By Bessel Van Der Kolk, MN ($20)
Dozens of people gathered for three nights of training with Stepping On Up in July, and when two of our expert practitioners recommended this text pens were moving all over the room as people jotted down the title. Let’s read it together and learn:
· What things you might do to build trust with a person who has been through a traumatic experience
· What happens to the brain/body connection as a result of trauma, and why
· What physical consequences can result from repressed trauma
· How we carry trauma in our body and paths to recovery
