Description

There are many trauma experts who have extensively studied trauma and its effects on the human mind and body. Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk is a leading researcher on trauma. His book, “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma”, uses scientific research to show how trauma reshapes the body and brain. He researches new treatment modalities that are best used to treat trauma patients. Yoga, Neurofeedback, equine therapy, and somatic experiencing are some of the parts of an intensive treatment plan to treat trauma and PTSD. This new treatment model activates the brain’s natural neuroplasticity.

The importance of somatic work with trauma is emphasized in “Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma” by Peter Levine. To focus on bodily sensations and develop strong body awareness is a major way to heal traumatized individuals.
