The Body Keeps the Score

Bessel van der Kolk

Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk surveys how overwhelming experience can alter memory, attention, bodily sensation, relationships, and the nervous system. Drawing on clinical cases, neuroscience, developmental research, and decades of trauma treatment, he explains why people may continue reacting to danger after an event has ended and discusses approaches ranging from relational therapy and EMDR to yoga, neurofeedback, theater, and body-based work.

Healing Spiritual Wounds

Carol Howard Merritt

Minister Carol Howard Merritt writes for people whose relationship to Christianity has been damaged by authoritarian teaching, shame, exclusion, or betrayal. Through pastoral reflection, memoir, spiritual practices, and engagement with psychology, she names wounds involving harmful images of God, the body, gender, sexuality, family, and religious authority, then explores forms of repair that do not require denying what happened.

What My Bones Know

Stephanie Foo

Journalist Stephanie Foo investigates complex PTSD through memoir, reporting, family history, and her own search for treatment. She traces childhood abuse and intergenerational trauma, the ways achievement can coexist with profound dysregulation, the difficulty of finding appropriate care, and the uneven process of building relationships and a life that are not organized entirely around survival.
