katekrauch 's review for:
The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
by Bessel van der Kolk
challenging
emotional
informative
sad
tense
As a neuroscience major and someone fascinated with psychology I found this book extremely interesting. It is, however, very dense and uses a lot of technical jargon. I also had to take it more slowly as I found parts of it difficult to read because of my own trauma. All in all, worth the read. Some of the ideas and lessons offered will stick with me for a long time
