Book Club

Saturday June 1st, 10 am

We had an overwhelming response to our initial Book Club in March that lasted almost 2 hours longer than scheduled! So many women shared vulnerably and supported each other creating the most beautiful space.

This reminded us how important community and connection is.

Salt City Holistic Health and East Meets West are excited to bring you the next addition of book club.

This one can be a heavy topic, but very important in the conversation of healing. We all experience some forms of trauma. This book helps us to understand how it continues to effect us in various aspects of life.

This discussion will be lead by Trauma informed therapist, Katrin Miller, Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R

The Body Keeps the Score : Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Dr.Bessel van der Kolk

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.
