This is a summary & it does not accompany the official 
In "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel A. van der Kolk, the author, delves into the pervasive presence of trauma in society, affecting veterans, abuse survivors, individuals with alcoholic family backgrounds, and those who have experienced physical violence in relationships. Drawing from over three decades of expertise, Dr. van der Kolk explores how trauma not only impacts the mind but also reshapes the body, compromising one's ability to experience pleasure, engage with the world, exercise self-control, and trust others. He discusses cutting-edge treatments, such as neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga, which leverage the brain's natural neuroplasticity to facilitate recovery. Grounded in Dr. van der Kolk's own research and insights from other leading experts, the book underscores the profound influence of human relationships in both causing and healing trauma, ultimately offering hope for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives.

A Collection Of...

Max Topoff

The things a person does and the places he visits in search of himself…Attempts to find peace of mind, harmony and tranquility push a wanderer to pursue answers in foreign countries, in impassable jungles or places popular for pilgrims, rush off to doubtful relations, make a multimillion fortune or just stuff himself with various mind-altering substances. And only having realized once that you just need to remember, because you have known all the answers for a long time. You just need to turn the “key to all doors”, which is always inside you.In the age of mosaic thinking, overconsumption and digital enslavement, it is quite difficult for most people to accept the idea that  in order to be in time, you need…to stop. Yes, yes, just to stop, close your eyes, take a deep breath, exhale, then again, and again, and again… And then your mind will be touched by revelations unknown to you until now. But between today’s you and a divine being you are meant to be, an abyss as large as Grand Canyon and as deep as Mariana Trench gapes. The fear of disappearing in one of visionary worlds stops you even from a try to make a step forward to close this gap. Disbelief, casual attitude and indifference towards yourself are just a few guardians of the humankind on the way toward awareness, regardless of the fact that it has been talked about so much recently. You can ignore the widespread tendency for emanation of eastern world perception beyond the bounds of historical territories of India, Cambodia and other spiritually uplifting countries, see another hype and fashion influence in it for as long as you want, or you can act otherwise.
