Today is the day! The Collective Book Club officially begins our fall reading journey with one of the most impactful books on trauma and healing: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.
For years, readers around the world have turned to this groundbreaking work to understand how trauma reshapes the body and brain—and how pathways to recovery can restore balance, resilience, and hope. Now, we’re gathering as a community of Warriors to dive into these pages, week by week, chapter by chapter, and support each other as we integrate what we learn.
Why The Body Keeps the Score?
Trauma doesn’t just live in memory—it lives in the body. This book explains how trauma alters the nervous system, affects physical and emotional health, and what science shows us about healing.
By joining this Collective Book Club, you’ll experience:
- Weekly live book club meetings with guided chapter summaries and deep discussion. (Thursdays at 8PM EST)

- A digital reading schedule designed for ~30 pages per week, always completing full chapters.

I am so excited to read this book again, at another point on my journey. Already Chapters 1 + 2 have lit me up and begun to remind me of my power!
