📖 Book of the Month
Heal the Body, Heal the Mind
Explore the transformative insights of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk's seminal work on trauma. "The Body Keeps the Score" reveals how trauma reshapes the body and brain, affecting individuals' ability to enjoy life, control themselves, and trust others. This compelling book delves into innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity.
Insightful and enlightening, this book delves into the science of our natural fight, flight, or freeze responses and how they can be harnessed to heal trauma. Through personal stories and practical advice, "The Body Keeps the Score" helps readers understand the past's imprint on their lives and how to move toward recovery and healing.
Quote of the Month
"You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you."
- Dan Millman
Dan Millman's words remind us that our thoughts, while powerful, do not have to define our reality or our responses to it. This insight encourages us to cultivate mindfulness and develop strategies to maintain our mental equilibrium. By fostering awareness, we empower ourselves to navigate life's ups and downs with a steadier hand and a clearer mind, thus opening the door to a more balanced and fulfilling life. As we move forward, let's focus not on wrestling with our thoughts, but on understanding and managing their influence with grace.
