The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
by Bessel van der Kolk
DID NOT FINISH: 17%
Definitely an insightful read but the specific topics discussed ended up being too much for me to read as someone who was reading out of interest. I knew, of course, it would be a heavy read but I think I overestimated my boundaries. I’ve never done a review for a DNF before (that I can recall anyways) but this dnf was very much a Me Problem so it felt worth noting.
