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

emotional
informative
inspiring

slow-paced
This book took me much longer to read than normal, mainly because of the tough content matter and the fact there’s so much information to digest. The information is presented in a way that’s easily accessible, and it’s clear it’s well researched. I think this is something important to read if you’ve been through a trauma or love a person who has dealt with it. It does discuss case studies of trauma patients though, so check content warnings before reading!
Graphic: Child abuse, Sexual assault, Car accident, War
Moderate: Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Medical content, Medical trauma, Abandonment
