How trauma and stress affects our health ( ) An impressive recount of a career looking after trauma survivors and the development of clinical techniques to help people regain as best as possible lives. The book is difficult and covers some terrible case histories. It also decries the political inaction or attrition in helping trauma victims with methods shown to work. So that overall the story is depressing. But the perspective one gets on mental health and how large organisations like government handle it is sobering and disappointing. There is so much to be said within this book that is so informative. The impact that trauma has on the body, is something that needs to be screamed from the rooftops. This book took me some time to get through - partially due to writing a PhD dissertation at the same time, but it is very technical. It can be a lot to take in. And some of the stories and examples given can be confronting. I’ve really found this book to be brilliant. I have notes all throughout the book, sticky notes everywhere! But I really recommend it for those who want to know the impact of trauma on the body as well as the brain! Information value: 7.0 / 10 Content density: 8 Structure (Story): 9 / 10 Prose: 9 Be forewarned: This is not a personal development book. I presumed that the person who recommended it to me did so in that vain, just as my suggestions to her were. However, one of us made a mistake. Not being the book I was expecting, nor of a genre I would consider reading, I kept waiting for some tips on dealing with trauma. Part of the psycho-therpeudical school of thought is that everyone has trauma. That was why this book was supposed to have universal relevance. However, I don't recall the author ever taking that stance, and all the techniques that were introduced, were done so in a slightly academic manner; not as useful standalone exercises. Note that I read the book over many periods. The library loan kept expiring as I read this piece of non-fiction alongside my preferred pleasure of literary and genre fiction. As a result, my comments might have some inaccuricies. You probably know to expect that from me anyway. My only major complaint is that the ending section on treatment is far more anecdotally-based than the rest of the book, which lays out a lot of solid research and statistics. The suggestions offered all seem to be variations of "here's things that worked in our practice, maybe try them, it's a pity there aren't any studies out there on them, though," which seems... not like a cop-out, but certainly less rigorous than the preceding building of the argument.
Packed with science and human stories, the book is an intense read that can get technical. Stay with it, though: van der Kolk has a lot to say, and the struggle and resilience of his patients is very moving.

Este libro profundamente humano ofrece una nueva comprensión radical de las causas y consecuencias del trauma, que ofrece esperanza y claridad a todas las personas afectadas por su devastación. El trauma ha surgido como uno de los grandes retos de la salud pública de nuestro tiempo, no sólo por sus efectos bien documentados sobre los veteranos de guerra y víctimas de accidentes y delitos, sino debido a la cifra oculta de la violencia sexual y familiar y en las comunidades y escuelas devastadas por el abuso, el abandono y la adicción. Basándose en más de treinta años en la vanguardia de la investigación y la práctica clínica, Bessel Van Der Kolk muestra que el terror y el aislamiento en el núcleo del trauma, literalmente, remodelan tanto cerebro como el cuerpo. Nuevos conocimientos sobre nuestros instintos de supervivencia explican por qué las personas traumatizadas experimentan ansiedad incomprensible y rabia paralizante e intolerable y cómo el trauma afecta su capacidad para concentrarse, recordar, formar relaciones de confianza e incluso para sentirse como en casa en sus propios cuerpos. Estas personas, después de haber perdido el sentido del autocontrol y frustrados por las terapias fallidas, a menudo temen estar dañados sin posibilidad de recuperación. El cuerpo lleva la cuenta es la inspiradora historia de cómo un grupo de terapeutas y científicos, junto con sus valientes y memorables pacientes, han luchado por integrar los recientes avances en la ciencia del cerebro, la investigación del apego y la conciencia corporal en tratamientos que puedan liberar a los supervivientes del trauma de la tiranía del pasado. Estos nuevos caminos hacia la recuperación activan la neuroplasticidad natural del cerebro para reconectar el funcionamiento perturbado y reconstruir paso a paso la capacidad de "saber lo que se sabe y sentir lo que se siente".
