The Body Keeps the Score

This was a tough and thought provoking book - the beginning half covers trauma and PTSD experiences and how it effects the whole bodies response and ability to think. It was hard to read about child abuse and trauma, and all the lasting impacts it can have later into life on many fronts, including incarnation and substance abuse. The second half dives into possible treatments for trauma and is really fascinating exploring how important it is to feel safe, and feel comfortable in our bodies, to process experiences and think & feel clearly. With 2020 causing disruption to so many, and our existing support systems and routines - it was really interesting to read about therapies that help people process and cope.
