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

slow-paced

2.75

While I wanted recommend this book to some friends, I knew that it would be triggering - and a warning is not posted anywhere within the book. 
The author - Dr. Bessel - has recently been dismissed from the Trauma Center he mentions in the book on charges of bullying and creating a hostile work environment. 
While it was an interesting read, some of the language used by the author suggested problematic views and opinions when it comes to victims of rape and incest.
