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

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.25

It took me almost two years to read this, not because it's long or complex, but because I needed time to let it sink in before returning to it in the right moment. There were moments where I rolled my eyes and went "oh Bessel, why", but all in all this is a great book. I was pleasantly surprised by it's interdisciplinarity and non-shitty approaches to some topics.

… I did take out a pencil and comment disapprovingly on most mentions of Onno van der Hart.
