If you are a human in 2025 you’ve undoubtedly heard the phrase “the body keeps the score.” The phrase originates from a book by the same name: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk.
Girl. You have literally just described the last nearly 30 years of my life. I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos (autoimmune disease) and I am finally filing for divorce. Never ever thought I would end up here, but this post is extremely helpful. I have The Body Keeps the Score and will be reading it with fever as soon as I can absorb it. Thank you for seeing me (even though you had no idea it was me). ❤️

Good job!
