The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk

emotional informative slow-paced

4.0

Definitely a heavy read and one that trauma survivors should tread lightly reading.

It's now 10 years old so I'm sure (hope?) the research has moved on considerably but it was an insightful read and a subject I would like to read more into.
