Brilliant & Important
An amazing book, and the first you should read if you want to explore trauma.
It’s accessible, thorough & provides much professional food for thought & personal self-reflection

Everyone should read this book!
Highly recommend The Body Keeps the Score. I had already read the book but the audio version was just as good, if not better. I listen on my daily walks and loved revisiting what I think is the ‘Bible’ of integrated trauma therapy. The narrators voice I found calm, soothing and educational (what I would imagine if read by Bressel van der Kolk himself) This should be read by every educators, therapist, health care professionals and support workers. Such a wealth of highly research practical information.

An eye opening and rewarding book
This book has truly been eye opening! Not only for my own trauma but for understanding why others may act the way they do. It will certainly change my approach in life.
I did find it at times quite overwhelming for myself when connecting it to my experiences. I’ve also taken so much from this book, on what I need to focus on and it has also highlighted where things have stemmed from.
I was actually a little sad when it was over, I guess we all hope for the answer we need, but that’s up to us to find and I now have some avenues and points on which to focus on.

SO interesting!
This is one of the most interesting books I have ever listened to. I have had the (paper) book for years but all that tiny writing(!) meant that I never got more than a few pages at a time. This narrator’s is very engaging and I couldn’t stop listening.

Very informative
Great audio book for those who are wanting to be more trauma-informed and provide holistic measures that create a safe space for people who have suffered trauma. Bessel provides helpful, real-life examples to explain how trauma impacts the brain and behaviours. I relate to his ideas of carefully balancing medical intervention with effective, evidence-based trauma support methods to humanise individual experiences; not relying on pills or one-size-fits-all approaches. I’m all the better for listening to this book and plan to read again. I join with him in his frustration re the DSM 5 and the lack of implementation around trauma-related disorders. When are we going to prioritise people instead of money! Thank you, Bessel.

I highly recommend this book to everyone
I loved that there were many different approaches to healing trauma and just generally improving the lives of people in this book. This book was well worth reading as it helped me to better understand myself as well as every single person in my life. As a person who comes from a small country that is grappling with a generation of traumatised children who’ve now become adults without any treatment, I felt this book opened my eyes to alternative therapies that could alleviate suffering and give us a better outlook on the future of our nation. I know many people who are currently working on providing support in these areas and will recommend this book to each of them.

Compelling
Although the material that is covered is similar to other books that deal with trauma, the depth of personal insight and exploration, and the willingness in humility to acknowledge the many flaws in the system add significant weight to all that the author presents. There are numerous places where the presented material and stories shared are harrowing and awful, but that should be expected given the topics covered.
