Just wanted to say I'm really sorry you're having a tough time Jennie. Anniversaries can be super brutal. Also, now is definitely not the time to attempt to read The Body Keeps the Score. I'm a Clinical Psychologist and it took me multiple attempts to get through it. It's also printed in the most annoying, microscopic font. Hillary McBride's The Wisdom of Your Body is much more accessible (but again, not right now, it sounds as though you need a big mug of tea, some chocolate and Gilmore Girls). Sending Love xxx
Ah thank you, Louise. I really appreciate that. (I feel a bit silly for even thinking of it as a tough time, so much as a tough day and a half tbh. Or a tired and numb day a half, perhaps). Funnily enough, Gilmore Girls and chocolate was *exactly* what I went for. And thanks for the tip about The Body Keeps The Score - I'd assumed it would be much more accessible. xx
Take care of yourself this week xx and thanks for the recommendation of 'The body keeps the score', I'll add it on my list of planned and probably never-get-around-to books too <3
Thanks, Renske. I have done! (And see do take a look at Louise's warning about The Body Keeps The Score further up the thread - depending on how big an academic challenge you're in the mood for!) xx
