The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk
Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
My hold at the library ended :.)
honestly, this book was a really hard read for me. I think I'll revisit it once I'm in a better mental headspace. I found it difficult to read so much about traumatic violence in the first 10% of the book. There was a point where I would regularly get nightmares about the woman who killed her daughter and unborn child in a car crash...
I recognize that it's important to learn about healing your trauma, but my god I'll need more than a 21 days.
