Monday Must Read: The Body Keeps Score; Brain, Mind, & Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D.

This book helped me tremendously. Thanks and Love to Carmel Mawle for suggesting it to me.
“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 Science 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.

Some Call For Submissions Love <3 Tiny Text
Tiny Text is looking for #ViralLit to share with the world!
Tiny Text is a Twitter journal (@Tiny_Text) that publishes #LittleLit: Twitter-length fiction and memoir, as well as serials.
What is Twitter-length? 140 characters or less—spaces count!—and each section of a serial should fall within that size requirement, as well as be able to stand on its own. We’re looking for stories that amaze us by how much can fit into such a small space.
Follow them on Twitter for weekly writing prompts and send up to three stories or memoirs at a time (including your name and Twitter handle) via Twitter direct message or via email to teeny.tiny.textATgmailDOTcom
They publish one piece of Twitter-length prose every Monday and every publication gets two unique promo Tweets earlier the same day—but they’re hoping to expand that number, so send away! Submissions are eagerly read year-round. Please allow 4 weeks before sending more work or inquiring about the status of your submission.
