A must read
One of the best books I have ever read about psychology. The author covers a wide range of mental issues and explains in details the origins of those traumas. For curious people and people that wish to better understand human psychology it’s definitely a book to read.

It took me a year to get through reading this book, not because it was boring , but because it gave me so many aha moments that I had to pause - reassess - process -impliment , then get back to it. Incredible.Well researched and filled with useful information . Absolutely a must read if youre actively on a healing journey.

Did anyone else have folded pages that were longer than the rest of the pages? Very strange

If you struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, or find yourself constantly ruminating and self-sabotaging, this is the most important book you will read. For anyone who has navigated emotional neglect, a chaotic childhood, or trauma—and perhaps uses addiction to cope—this book offers a completely new perspective. The Body Keeps the Score connects your biology with your biography. It explains how your past experiences physically rewire your brain and nervous system, making sense of the confusing emotions and reactions that can keep you stuck. It validates that these struggles aren't character flaws; they are physiological responses. What truly surprised me was Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s empathy. It is rare to find a scientific text that feels so deeply human. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and understands the pain of trauma survivors. It bridges the gap between hard science and human compassion in a way that just clicks. I am incredibly grateful for this work. It provides clarity, hope, and a roadmap for understanding yourself. A masterpiece for anyone looking to heal. As for the physical book, the print is slightly on the smaller side and the paper quality is okay but I was too captured by the words to care about the physical quality and you shouldn't care either.

One of the rare books that remains in New York best sellers list for years. Still reading it but the book is crucial in psychology and contains heartbreaking stories with a real life hard experience stories some ending with successful relief and just surviving for others.

Es un libro que puedes leer sin saber nada de psiquiatría o psicología, trae incluso varios esquemas que explican todo muy bien. Me encanta que no es un libro tipo "superación personal" (que igual no tiene nada de malo), sino uno que relata con fundamento, casos reales y evidencia científica los procesos de trauma y recuperación. Personalmente, el proceso de lectura también sirve mucho para validar tus sentimientos, es muy bello❤️🩹
