The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
Book feels particularly triggering as a neurospicy survivor, as it goes into trauma in detail in ways that just don’t feel like a good fit. Mental health professionals recommended a couple others instead. Not worth hanging onto or trying to finish. Felt dissociated while reading it, although first brain chapters were interesting. Unfortunately, author has been accused of faking their studies, and having bunk science included (yikesssss). Just not the book for me.
