Beschreibung

Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.” —Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times Science bestseller 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.

Zuweilen ein bisschen langatmig und detailreich, hat mich das Buch sehr bewegt und ich bin der Meinung, jede*r sollte es gelesen haben.

Lustige Story (~10 Jahre her): es wurde mir empfohlen von einem Masseur, der festgestellt hat, dass ich sehr verspannt bin und wohl Trauma in meinem Körper gespeichert haben muss 🥲

Super interessant wie Traumata entstehen, wie damit umgegangen wird und welche Erkenntnisse in Bezug darauf in den letzten Jahren gewonnen wurden!

Sehr gutes Buch zu Trauma und dessen Folgen und wie Menschlichkeit, Gemeinschaft und das Hören auf den eigenen Körper die Lösung sein können.

Ohne Kritik und Schwächen des heutigen Systems auszulassen

DNF at 32%. I find it to be dragged out and very centered around men and war. Some things NEED to be put in perspective. As a psychologist, hearing about them using the Rorschach test to determine a patient's state is shocking. At the very least, there has to be a comment that nowadays, this is a debunked method.

“… if we feel abandoned, worthless or invisible, nothing seems to matter. Fear destroys curiosity, and playfulness. In order to have a healthy society, we must raise children who can safely play and learn. They can be no growth without curiosity and no adaptability without being able to explore, through trial and error, who you are, and what matters to you. Currently more than 50% of the children served by Head Start has had three or more adverse childhood experiences like those included in the ACE study: incarcerated, family members, depression, violence, abuse, or drug use in the home or periods of homelessness. People who feel safe and meaningfully connected with others, have little reason to squander their lives doing drunks or staring number at television; they don’t feel compelled to stop them self with carbohydrates or assault their fellow human beings. However, if nothing, they do things to make a difference if you’re trapped and become susceptible to the lure of pills, gang leaders, extremist religions, violent, political movements - anybody and anything that promises relief. Is that ACE start? It has shown child abuse and neglect is the single most preventable cause of mental illness, the single, most common cause of truck and alcohol abuse, and a significant contributor to leading causes of death, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and suicide.” If only….

I found this book absolutely fascinating, engaging and thought-provoking. It is also the first ever book to prompt me to buy sticky notes so that I can revisit certain phrases, paragraphs and chapters. Highly recommend it.
