I found “The Body Keeps the Score” to be super interesting. I’ve always been interested in social sciences and psychology but I never had the chance to take a class on it in high school. This book is the perfect opportunity to learn more about this subject I’ve always been curious about. One story I was particularly interested in was Stan and Ute’s. The way they experienced the same traumatic event but reacted so differently was intriguing. It shows how our minds are subject to change and how our experiences can train them so that we have vastly different reactions from person to person to the same situations. That variability in human response is what really intrigues me. Not only was this variation in their actions physical, meaning how they reacted in the moment, but it was also internal in the sense that after the event when their trauma responses were triggered their brain scans were vastly different as well.
