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

informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

A really phenomenally written piece of nonfiction. Great balance of data-relevant stories and also explaining technical aspects of the science behind all of it. Loved the narrative tone.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Rape, Violence, and War

Be warned - very triggering for some, I had to put the book down nearly every other page to process. That made it a slow read but very worth it imo.
