Imagine carrying memories not just in your mind but in your body; every sound, every smell, every flashback pulling you back into the past. That's the reality of trauma, and in The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk shows how it shapes lives and how people can heal.

This Audible Leaf summary brings you into the world of veterans haunted by war, children scarred by abuse, and survivors struggling to feel safe in their own skin. It explains how trauma rewires the brain and nervous system, why it shows up as panic, numbness, or chronic pain, and the many ways recovery is possible.

From yoga and EMDR to theater programs and supportive relationships, van der Kolk reveals practical, science-backed methods that help people reconnect with their bodies and reclaim joy.
