The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk
The definitive book on trauma — how it reshapes body, brain, and mind, and what actually heals it. The most important book about trauma ever written. Essential reading.
Waking the Tiger — Peter Levine
How animals release trauma instinctively — and how humans can too. The origin of Somatic Experiencing.
Bessel van der Kolk
Dutch-American psychiatrist who spent four decades at Boston's Trauma Center showing that traumatic memory lives in the body, not the narrative. The Body Keeps the Score (2014) made somatic therapy mainstream.
Peter Levine
Developed Somatic Experiencing in the 1970s after observing that wild animals routinely discharge trauma the human nervous system holds. Waking the Tiger (1997) made body-based trauma therapy clinically respectable and is now taught in trainings on six continents.
