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

I have never the victim of a cult now repeatedly and the body really is broken down by the trauma they create especially when it's societal leaving you paralyzed while others have used you to acheive their own goals. Retraumatization is one of the most mentally toxic and sadistic things I've ever experienced. Personally when I was listening to this i broke down into tears knowing there would be no support group or peer that would make me feel understood or supported because it was repeated.

An insightful and comprehensive exploration of trauma work, "The Body Keeps the Score" delves into the historical perspective and modern strategies for healing the body and mind. It offers a detailed overview of trauma's impact on Western culture and its treatment approaches. For a practical route towards implementing the book's concepts, I suggest reading or listening to Pat Ogden's "Sensorimotor Psychotherapy," which provides tangible techniques with the assistance of a trained therapist. Together, these resources form a valuable toolkit for understanding and addressing trauma.

For the past year I was told by family and my therapist to read the body keeps the score to help me with my trauma. As suggested I download the audio book and I can tell you this. I can't stop listening to it. I suffer from complex PTSD from my childhood trauma and I also have PTSD from my combat tour in Iraq. This book has helped me understand everything I feel and how I act towards others. This is a must read for people who have trauma or people who have a family member who has trauma
