Like a tale as old as time, some degree of trauma and pain is an inevitable fact of life. However, no matter if mental or physical, trauma affects the body. “The Body Keeps The Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” (2015), authored by Boston-based psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., offers eye-opening insight on understanding traumatic stress and its impacts on the body. The author dissects the impact of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders on physical well being.
