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.
