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

3.75

I learned a lot even though it was pretty dense. I didn’t like how he described his female patients. I also felt like there were parts that might traumatize/retraumatize someone with ptsd reading this book. I also heard it is more pseudoscience than real proven science? So idk. Interesting but a bit problematic
