Bessel van der KolkThe Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma
R229
About
What causes people to continually relive what they most want to forget, and what treatments could help restore them to a life with purpose and joy? Here, Dr Bessel van der Kolk offers a new paradigm for effectively treating traumatic stress. Neither talking nor drug therapies have proven entirely satisfactory. With stories of his own work and those of specialists around the globe, The Body Keeps the Score sheds new light on the routes away from trauma - which lie in the regulation and syncing of body and mind, using sport, drama, yoga, mindfulness, meditation and other routes to equilibrium.

The Chair-y on the Top
We all know someone who likes asking hypothetical questions, like, "Which superpower would you choose if you could choose a superpower?"
Well, today, we are that someone!
If you could have three people, dead or alive, over for dinner, who would you choose?
We would choose the father of the nation, Nelson Mandela. He would be a pretty interesting guest and would have plenty to talk about. And of course we'd make uTata his favourite meal, oxtail stew!
And Robin Williams! Imagine the laughs you'd have with the star from Jumanji and Mrs. Doubtfire! Plus, you could use some humour to break the ice if things get awkward!
And we need to have some feminine energy. Who's better than Cleopatra to bring a whole new level of intrigue to your dinner party? Imagine discussing ancient civilizations over a feast fit for a queen (literally)!
Whoever you would choose, make sure they have a comfortable seat with our deal on Dining Chairs from Finery.
