connorslyon 's review for:
The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
by Bessel van der Kolk
challenging
emotional
reflective
tense
slow-paced
This book changed my life but was also very triggering. Have support when you start it. Worth the read. Very academic. Every health care professional should read it. A bit inaccessible for a “ley person” at times. Can be trauma porn-y. BUT- the knowledge in it is invaluable.
