Reading "The Body Keeps the Score" right after "Existential Kink" feels like seeing Matrix code or some shit
Conversation
fwiw i liked body keeps the score but i found it a little cold and clinical - peter levine’s books about somatic experiencing cover similar territory but i found them warmer and more poetic in a way that felt more aligned with the material

it begins with a story of him getting hit by a car which is just riveting
I found Body Keeps The Score very interesting since it talks a lot about how the body reacts to certain things, what symptoms that might have, and so on, but it spares very little for how that /feels/. It's a perhaps-needed perspective, but it does not make for comfort reading.
