Dr Bessel van der Kolk: How The Body Keeps Score

Psychiatrist Dr Bessel van der Kolk gives a talk in Bath on trauma and his new paradigm for healing, based on his bestseller The Body Keeps The Score.

Dr Bessel van der Kolk, author of the global bestseller The Body Keeps The Score, returns to discuss a new paradigm for treating trauma. Drawing on more than thirty years of research and clinical practice, he explores how trauma reshapes both brain and body and how relationships can hurt or heal. The talk covers how adults and children can reclaim ownership of their bodies and lives, moving beyond standard talking and drug therapies. The event runs from 2pm to approximately 4pm, with doors and bars from 1pm, and a BSL interpreter will be present.
