It's pretty good if you're familiar with therapy/psychology already. I would not recommend this to someone actively needing help. Perhaps it's giving into temptation and reading the reviews halfway into reading, but the author's grotesque detail into his client's traumas and the way he describes some of his fem clients do come off voyeuristic, to which he pointed out himself in chapter 15.
At best, I got a tour of some helpful methods to cope with life's catastrophes.

Muy buen libro

Review of 'The Body Keeps the Score' on 'Goodreads'

Hard and unpleasant, yet highly valuable read, at least for me. Sadly, it made me understanding lots of people and lots of happenings around me notably better. It also helped me to differentiate non-scientific BS from the ways my unresolved fear, anxiety and doubt can make my feel physicaly sick. However, should you ever considered reading this book, be warned that it discusses every single worst thing that a human can experience and yet survive. All the trigger warnings ahead.
