Our Book Club

Reading can open your mind to new ways of thinking about the world. It can also help reduce stress, deepen understanding, sharpen critical thinking, and inspire engagement with others on a particular topic. In short, reading connects us to one another.

It’s why we created the Rivia Book Club – to serve as a bridge for communication. We’ll tell you what book we’re reading each quarter, with the hope that you’ll join us. Doing so can stimulate productive discussions and build on the sense of community between you and your mental health treatment team.

 

What We’re Reading Now

The Body Keeps The Score coverThe Body Keeps the Score

By Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.

What's it about? Renowned trauma expert Bessel Van Der Kolk has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he 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 shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neurofeedback, mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other therapies. Based on Dr. Van Der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score offers proven alternatives to drugs and talk therapy—and a way to reclaim lives.

Who is it good for? For anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.
