The Body Keeps the Score!
It's your choice. When there is someone who's speaking to you about their trauma and their hurt and trying to help make you understand what is their mental situation. Everybody from their end wants to press a stating argument saying that this too will pass and all you have to do is find yourself something distracting and you'll forget about it. Maybe our brain would, but honestly I do not think so. I really feel that the body keeps the score. The body keeps the score of every hidden trauma

To read these almost puts you in a place where you cannot even believe what people go through. In fact, it opens with an experience of a veteran and how he lived with repressing, everything he experienced, and how it reared its ugly head many years later as a father, even had a family and a father. So it really does show that there is no benefit to not dealing with things as they arise
Understanding the medical conditions behind what is really torturing ourselves or it's hurting us in ways that our body can truly comprehend, can help us figure out better ways and walk towards a better healing. So why I felt like it's important for me to share about this book with people who would really care to go through it. I am truly humbled that you reply to My Swell and listen to your whole reply just made me so much more happy. You made my day. Thank you so much once again

And again, I'm sorry, I love to call people by their names, but yours is just, like I said, really beautifully written and I don't know how to pronounce it. So maybe you could put that in your next as well. But you have a good night and we'll look forward to hearing more from you. Bye
