Book Review: The Body Keeps the Score
Interesting bit burried in section IV that I&#x27;m posting here in the likely event that most people don&#x27;t read that far.<p>TL&#x2F;DR- he&#x27;s mostly critical of the book, but provides this update:<p>&gt;[Update, written a few weeks after the rest of this post: maybe it is all wizardry. I recommended this book to a severely traumatized patient of mine, who had not benefited from years of conventional treatment, and who wanted to know more about their condition. The next week the patient came in, claiming to be completely cured, and displaying behaviors consistent with this. They did not use any of the techniques in this book, but said that reading the book helped them figure out an indescribable mental motion they could take to resolve their trauma, and that after taking this mental motion their problems were gone. I’m not sure what to think of this or how much I should revise the negative opinion of this book which I formed before this event.]
