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

emotional informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

I firmly believe that each and every mental health practitioner should read this book, or at least have it as a reference. An invaluable source of information and insights for my work as a therapist. I often recommend it to those who have experienced trauma, with a very hefty warning of how difficult and emotionally taxing it can be to read. Through all the pain of the book also comes endless validation and routes to healing.
