Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of TraumaThe Body Keeps the Score
Translated by Mohamed El-Dakhakhny
This book serves as an essential reference for anyone studying or interested in understanding psychological trauma and its enduring impact. The core idea Dr. Bessel presents is that trauma is not merely a past event or a bad memory stored in the mind; rather, it is a genuine physiological alteration that reshapes the brain and body.
