Anyone else here read The Body Keeps the Score? I found it pretty insightful.
>>24940899My therapist recommended it to me
Yes
>>24940899qrd?
I started reading this book and it's crazy how the author writes that abused women seek out more abusers to relive their trauma as a symptom of PTSD, when now it's common knowledge in post-blackpill society that women are just masochistic and love getting the shit beat out of them by dark triad men. Psychological research has come so far.
>>24940899I get the most smug, devilish grin on my face whenever I catch westoids in a book like this projecting their angst and panic over the failed promises of the enlightenment.>we can measure it. WE CAN MEASURE IT! itttsss,,,, its all phsycial!!!! its your... you know you're depressed because of uh uh uh...shit... because of your gut!!! your microbiome? PHYSICAL CHANGES IN THE BRAIN!!! WE CAN LOCALIZE FUNCTION WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGU! thats it yes of course... of course,,, it has to be..The absolute Lovecraftian panic and cosmic horror in the subtle facial expressions of a small mind confronted by a problem that can't be reduced to a couple of readings from some instruments, its really something to see.

>>24941525Yoga and meditation were about doing the same thing, Retard Shitdeek.Why do you think body based therapies appeared in the 60s after the massive growth of yoga and pranayama and meditation in the West. Whites just took the things that work - neurophysiology - and abandoned the things that don't - streetshitter metaphysics.

Almost dropped it when he presented EMDR as the end-all be-all, almost magical therapy modality, when it is just a highly structured form of exposure therapy under copyright.It also opened the floodgates for half the internet to feel like trauma experts.
>>24940899It was incoherent. Did not go deep enough. All it did was give a bunch of examples and describe random details about it. I couldnt tell what was important and what was not because the "structure" of the book did have a single center of gravity that arranged details in an intelligible way. I ended up with a smattering of random interesting facts and nothing usable.
>>24941839>nothing usableThat's often the case with all books.
>>24941848It was not usable even in a purely intellectual, non-practical sense. I didn't expect to learn therapy techniques, but I expected something like low resolution overview of the field, maybe some choice metaphors that helps me understand the underlying mechanisms of trauma in a simplified way, or a sketch of the causal framework of trauma. This book did not do that. I would have gotten the same thing watching 100 trauma-themed tik toks.
