Kali Mann’s Reviews > The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma > Status Update

This is on my to read list. It was recommended by my therapist.

Yes!!! Definitely a great book to read to help you understand the affect trauma has on your body. I’m only in the beginning, but I’m discovering a newfound understanding for why I react in certain ways and why my body is freaking out and has been for the last 2 years. (The trauma started when I was 4 and my son turned 4 two years ago... coincidence? I think not). It can be heavy at times so I think it’s great to have someone to discuss it with.

Yes childhood trauma is so hard! I've been learning about it and working through it with an awesome therapist for the last 3 years. It still shocks me at me st times when stuff comes up. I love learning the science behind it. I think it will also help my husband and I as foster parents.

Definitely!!! I love that you guys are doing that. 💜
