Le Corps n'oublie rien

Bessel van der Kolk

This work explores the profound impact of trauma on both the mind and body of an individual, arguing for a holistic approach to healing. It examines how trauma alters perceptions and physiological responses, emphasizing the need to consider both psychological and physical aspects in therapy. A variety of treatments beyond traditional talk therapy are presented, such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), somatic experiencing, and yoga, which integrate the body into the healing process. The importance of social support, community, and self-care in overcoming the effects of trauma is emphasized, offering hope and practical guidance for healing. This compelling call to embrace comprehensive treatments that address the intertwined nature of mind and body argues for patience, support, and personalized paths to healing.
