About this listen
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk uses his decades of experience working with trauma to write the book The Body Keeps Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma. Using his own research and that of other experts in the field, he looks at how traumatic events alter our brains and the way we think, leading to adverse effects in the way we relate with others and how we experience happiness.
This book is a summary of The Body Keeps Score and highlights the key arguments that Dr. Bessel van der Kolk makes in his book, giving you a brief yet informative overview of the main points you need to know.
Trauma is much closer to home than many of us think. It affects those fleeing wars and veterans returning from combat. Yet, it also affects those who grew up with alcoholics or those who were subjected to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
In his book, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk goes into detail about how this changes the way we think and offers an in-depth look at the new treatments that can help overcome trauma and reshape the brain.
This summary touches upon those topics in a concise, straightforward way. You get the key snippets and a solid understanding of the book in a fraction of the time, allowing you to start applying your new knowledge immediately.
This book is ideal for anyone who has suffered trauma, who knows someone who has, or for those simply curious to understand more about the psychology of trauma.
In this audiobook, you will find:
- A review of how traumatic events - whether they’re from war or close to home - can physically change the way the brain thinks.
- A brief overview of the relationship we have between getting hurt and how we evolve from that.
- A look at the treatments available, for those who have suffered trauma, that can get their lives back on track.
- A summary of the author's research that lets you know the key points that you need to know immediately.
If you’re curious to learn more about the author's research on trauma and want an easy-to-grasp overview of his work, then this summary is for you. Click to buy now.

For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 13,010
Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.
