#1 New York Times bestseller
“Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.” —Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies
A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times bestseller
Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.

Publisher’s Summary:
No one would use a “funhouse” mirror that distorts reflections or a broken mirror that impairs images to apply makeup or style hair. Why, then, do we see the worldly mirrors of others’ opinions and our own presumptuous thoughts to view our inner selves? These types of mirrors not only give us a false perception of ourselves, but also they wound us and hold us captive the reflected ugliness of fear, guilt, worry, condemnation, and perfectionism. Many of us see and feel the paralyzing effects of these ugly burdens, but we have no idea how to take them off. Consequently, we continually live in the destructive trap of insecurity, knowing deep down there is more to life than what we are experiencing. Seeing Yourself in the Mirror of Truth illuminates the destructive impact that deception and lies have on your identity. Not only will you become acquainted with the truth that sets you free from this trap, but also you will be taught how to tame, shape, and polish your personality using God’s mirror. Just like you partner with the mirror each morning to polish your appearance, you will learn how to partner with God through His Word to see and remove your ugly insecurities as you willingly let God transform you into a beautiful woman in Jesus Christ. Are you ready to look into the mirror of truth?
Publisher’s Summary:
Life can hurt, but complete healing is possible.
We have all been wounded. The pain can hit deep and settle into our bodies and souls. In reaction to our pain, beliefs and patterns emerge that hinder the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through life. Pain slows us down and drains our mental and emotional energy.
Pain holds us back.
Modern society provides many opportunities to numb, hide or escape symptoms of pain without addressing the root cause. However, until the source of our pain is identified and remedied, it will stay alive in us, manifesting as physical and emotional pain, toxic thoughts, anxiety, depression, and more.
Everyone is unique in his or her response to life’s hurts, but as explained in Healing from the Heart:
The principles and processes found throughout Dana’s authentic telling of her own journey from pain to wellness have helped hundreds experience the life-changing power of inner healing. Furthermore, Healing from the Heart features a refreshing combination of story, instruction and journaling prompts that lead to the peace and revitalization for which we’ve been searching.
Healing from the Heart is ideal for group study as well as individual discovery.
Publisher’s Summary
Passive assimilation is a silent and unspoken epidemic- one in which a person gets lost in someone else’s dreams, aspirations, and purpose while sacrificing their own. When I started writing this book eleven years ago, I thought this would be for women. But, the more I came to understand this epidemic and the more research I did. I came to the realization that gender has nothing to do with it. What determines whether or not someone becomes a victim of this epidemic is the role a person- male or female- chooses to take in their relationship. That being said, this is not a relationship-bashing book. It is a book written to promote self-rediscovery, self-empowerment, self-love and self-awareness in partnership with God.
Your trials do not have to define you. When you embrace God’s love in the midst of life’s pressures, you are able to overcome them! In this book, you will learn how to:
“You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.” ~Isaiah 62:3As you journey with God in His love through the faulty layers, deep crevices, wounded fragments, and broken places within yourself, He will use the heat and pressure of this life to transform the limitations and shortcomings of those unrefined “carbon atoms” within to mold you into a beautiful diadem for the King’s Crown. Not only will you become a sparkling splendor in the Lord’s hand, but even more, you will become one with Him in glory and in making Him known to the world.
