Review of 'The Body Keeps the Score' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Hard and unpleasant, yet highly valuable read, at least for me. Sadly, it made me understanding lots of people and lots of happenings around me notably better. It also helped me to differentiate non-scientific BS from the ways my unresolved fear, anxiety and doubt can make my feel physicaly sick. However, should you ever considered reading this book, be warned that it discusses every single worst thing that a human can experience and yet survive. All the trigger warnings ahead.
