The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk
Did not finish book. Stopped at 68%.
While I found parts of this interesting, particularly about the history of modern psychiatry and mental health diagnoses, there are so many parts that are triggering. It’s probably best left to health care professionals and not the actual patients. I also found myself growing increasingly off put by the author.
