The Body Keeps The Score

Does reading two chapters for upcoming school professional development count? I was dreading reading The Body Keeps The Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van Der Kolk. MD because I was warned that it was tough to read. 

It is a a tough topic and a very dense read, made all the more so because it was really just assigned to us as busywork which I resent is preventing me from grading papers and planning lessons. In silent protest, I’m reading only the required chapters, by candlelight as the power is out, whilst stuffing my face with Cheez-Its. (Saturday, January 29, 2022 at 5:57 PM)

EDIT to add that this book is currently (December 2024) being read by my dear friend from high school, Sue. After having a discussion with her about the book, I came home to search for my copy, only to discover that it was unfortunately a tragic victim of the Summer of 2024 Dumpster.
