Reading this book was the hardest and most useful thing I did all year.

When Your Therapist Repeats Herself
She mentioned it in our fourth session. I nodded and forgot. Three months later she brought it up again, and something in her voice made me write it down. The Body Keeps the Score is not an easy read. It is careful and sometimes devastating. It explains how trauma lives in the body and not just in memory. I am glad she told me twice.

My therapist recommended it twice. I finally listened the third time.
