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

5.0

A harrowing read for all the right reasons. The pain of seeing yourself reflected in the pages of this book and finally beginning to comprehend what went wrong and how to fix it is real. However, the relief of knowing I am not alone, I have not irretrievably lost my mind, and there is hope for recovery, were worth that pain.
I highly recommend this for everyone who has experienced trauma, knows people who have, or interacts with people who have.
