For both clinicians and their clients there is tremendous value in understanding the psychophysiology of trauma and knowing what to do about its manifestations. This book illuminates that physiology, shining a bright light on the impact of trauma on the body and the phenomenon of somatic memory. It is now thought that people who have been traumatized hold an implicit memory of traumatic events in their brains and bodies. That memory is often expressed in the symptomatology of posttraumatic stress disorder-nightmares, flashbacks, startle responses, and dissociative behaviors. In essence, the body of the traumatized individual refuses to be ignored. While reducing the chasm between scientific theory and clinical practice and bridging the gap between talk therapy and body therapy, Rothschild presents principles and non-touch techniques for giving the body its due. With an eye to its relevance for clinicians, she consolidates current knowledge about the psychobiology of the stress response both in normally challenging situations and during extreme and prolonged trauma. This gives clinicians from all disciplines a foundation for speculating about the origins of their clients' symptoms and incorporating regard for the body into their practice. The somatic techniques are chosen with an eye to making trauma therapy safer while increasing mind-body integration. Packed with engaging case studies, The Body Remembers integrates body and mind in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. It will appeal to clinicians, researchers, students, and general readers.

Review

This book breaks new ground in the understanding of trauma-related work . . . . Every therapist who reads this book is likely to find their work benefits from it. . . . [I]nvaluable for clinicians working with clients, researchers, students and the general public who want to understand the psychophysiology of trauma and knowing what to do about its manifestations.

Babette Rothschild has produced a masterful book! This text should be required reading for all therapists, particularly those engaged in trauma work. . . . [A] clear pacesetter in integrating the physiological and psychological dimensions of emotions and the use of such knowledge in the therapeutic process. I hope this pioneer author continues her excellent work.

Helped me understand how emotions relate to my mind, body, and memory

11 October 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I read The Body Remembers as a layperson, curious about how emotions are related to the physical body.

Before reading, my only exposure to body awareness had been through meditative practices. It has been an illuminating experience to learn about the mind and body from this trauma therapeutic perspective. It has given me a stronger western theoretical foundation and vocabulary in understanding myself and my close friends and relatives who have experienced traumas.

I particularly appreciated Ch 3 on somatic memory. It surveys the history or mind-body studies and sets up a framework for understanding emotions as bodily sensations (affect), conscious experience (feeling), and memories. This framework is used to understand how trauma can be remembered in the physical body.

I also appreciated Ch 6: The Body as Resource. It offered practices to bring awareness into the body that I found myself doing as I read the book.

Rothschild does a fantastic job at presenting this material with enough background for a general audience. It was a pleasure to read, yet also had the academic rigor and pragmatic advice of a practitioner in the field.

The Body Remembers

17 December 2013 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This is a very good book with a lot of good information about the effect of physical and/or emotional trauma on the human psyche. People can't "just snap out of it" when their psyches have been damaged by trauma. Frequently, people have no memory of a trauma (s) or they've blocked them out in some way. They only know they hurt , they feel different , they have nightmares or night terrors. They feel like they will explode but don't know why. They may be wonderful, brilliant people but they may feel that they are losing grip on reality. They may think a lot about suicide or feel they are going crazy. They may experience blackout times where they don't remember going somewhere or can't understand how they left a sweater somewhere when they have no recollection of having gone out. If someone you love experiences any of these feelings even years after traumatic events, get them help. Read this book.

Good, but no longer current

19 February 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

It's not a bad book, but it's already become outdated. Other, newer books by Dan Siegel and Bessel Van Der Kolk cover the same ground, but with more of the latest and greatest insights from modern neuroscience. She says "may" and "appears to" about things that are now established fact. Good for it's time, but it's time has now passed.

A great read for any practitioner who wants to better understand ...

2 March 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

So insightful into not only the mental and emotional ramifications but the physical ramifications of trauma...How the body copes with underlying stressors invisible to the eye and the problems that occur maybe years after the trauma. This may be a puzzle piece to many physical conditions that are difficult to diagnose (i.e.adrenal insufficiency) as well as treat. A great read for any practitioner who wants to better understand some of the patients who walk through their clinic.

This book answers many questions you didn't even know you had.

28 April 2012 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I will never forget one day waking up in pain from head to toe with no specific memory of why. Later I figured out that every year during a specific month and a specific week my body rememberd a significant trauma even when I didn't. There are not many things in the world that validate and empower trauma survivors but this book is an exception. I am very grateful to the author and will never forget the day I found this book that answered so many of my questions even the ones I didn't know to ask. What a great relief!
