The Body Keeps the Score
Buy on AmazonBut I find that there's a limit to where talking therapy can go, and that is trauma that's stored in the body, which you're not even consciously aware of. Have you heard of that book, 'The Body Keeps the Score'? Yeah, it was written in the '70s, but it's back on the bestseller list, which gives me hope that more people are realizing that, since the pandemic, we have trauma stored in our bodies.
