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

dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad medium-paced

4.5

Great book for those interested in the psychology and treatment of trauma. I personally found it incredibly useful in navigating my own recovery from a traumatic experience in my life.
Can occasionally be triggering, has a lot of unwarned mentions of sexual abuse, neglect, traumatic events, etc.
