The Body Keeps the ScoreThe Body Keeps the Score
“The body keeps the score.”Dr. Bessel van der Kolk
How we use it at Perkins PsyCare: this book is the backbone of our trauma-informed approach. Every evaluation starts from its central insight, that trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in memory. In practice that means we assess the body’s stress responses alongside thoughts and behavior, pace therapy so clients feel safe before they go deep, and pair evidence-based talk therapy with grounding and regulation skills, so healing reaches where words alone can’t.
