Traumatic experience becomes imprinted in the body and forces a person to relive the pain again and again. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk has taken on the task of finding ways to break free from this trap. His practical and theoretical research on psychological trauma is invaluable for rebuilding one’s perception, understanding the source of suffering, finding an effective treatment approach, and rediscovering oneself.

This book offers comprehensive information related to trauma, highlighting a wide range of aspects:

discoveries in the field of neuroscience
causes of trauma rooted in problematic relationships
consequences of trauma, such as amnesia, dissociation, depressive disorders, and more
treatment methods, both non‑pharmacological and medication‑based
examples of social projects that can help patients reintegrate into society
