The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting by Alice Miller

3.0

I found this book on TikTok from people saying that "The Body Keeps the Score" stole from Alice Miller's work. As someone who read "The Body Keeps the Score" because it was recommended by all of my professors in grad school, I of course wanted to check it out. I can honestly say that in my opinion that these are two completely separate works. Parents abusing their children and it's effects are not an exclusive or new idea. Both books have some good but different information. I personally prefer "The Body Keeps the Score", I felt like there were more things that could applied in therapy with it. So I see "The Body Never Lies" as a more informational/conceptual book.
