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

I would love to be more levinepilled. I read the tiger one and had trouble with the framing, it felt like he was claiming an objective (peer reviewable, science-y) truth that I assume isn't there? maybe it was in my head. now I'm reading "trauma-proofing your kids" and loving it

i haven't read the tiger one, i also haven't finished this one but the beginning at least doesn't read like that to me at all, idk tho!
I am giving a grand sigh and adding all of these to my list
