Bessel van der Kolk didn't think his book "The Body Keeps the Score" would be such a mainstream success. Van der Kolk is a psychiatrist and researcher who has worked with trauma survivors for more than 30 years. "There is no precedent for this type of book so, no, we didn't know it would be this popular," van der Kolk tells CNBC Make It. "What traumatized people suffer from is that people don't believe them or people minimize it or say, 'it didn't really happen,'" van der Kolk says. Fisher, who has worked with van der Kolk, emphasizes that "The Body Keeps the Score" remains relevant because of its content but also because of how it is written.

An event that is distressing doesn’t yield the same response as an event that is traumatic, Fisher says.
