I was a little nervous to read “The Body Keeps the Score” because I wasn’t sure how medical/technical it would be, but I found it to be a fairly easy read. One part that I found fascinating was the example of trauma being like a horse and a rider. Often trauma is completely out of a person’s control, similarly to the way the body might respond to it. I thought this was a great way to describe how fight or flight can feel, and how hard it is for a person or “rider” to handle it. Overall I really enjoyed the reading.

The book provided me with many different insights regarding trauma and healing especially for the younger age that is determining for the development of character. One of the most fascinating characteristics of the book was the explanation of different behaviors and characteristics through the use of social sciences and mostly psychology. Moreover, all the claims were supported by real life examples that did not just make the book more appealing but also provided a better understanding to the reader. Through the use of examples, studies and scientific approach, behaviors that are hard to be approached through logic or common sense are explained with details providing useful information not only to people suffering from traumas but everyone!
