The Body Keeps the Score UK and Ireland Tour
Oct 31 – Nov 7, 2026
United Kingdom and Ireland
From Oct 31st to Nov 7th, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk will visit Dublin, London, Manchester, Bath and Edinburgh to share his paradigm for treatment and show us how we can reclaim ownership of our bodies and our lives.
Bessel van der Kolk M.D. is a pioneer clinician, researcher and teacher in the area of posttraumatic stress. His work uniquely integrates developmental, neurobiological, psychodynamic, somatic and interpersonal aspects of the impact of trauma and its treatment.
His #1 New York Times bestseller, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Treatment of Trauma (translated in 47 languages), transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust.
He is founder of the Trauma Center (now the Trauma Research Foundation) in Boston, MA; past President of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies; Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Boston University Medical School; and Principal Investigator, Boston site of MAPS sponsored MDMA assisted psychotherapy study.
