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

challenging emotional informative reflective slow-paced

3.75

I cried in public reading this. 

Very informative but at times unnecessarily detailed regarding specific people’s traumas.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Car accident

Moderate: Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Pedophilia, Sexual assault, and Abandonment

Lots of content warnings, so I just listed the ones off the top of my head. Ultimately it’s for the sake of explaining different uses of therapy that helped these people overcome their traumatic pasts but I definitely had to skip certain parts.
