Criticisms of “The Body Keeps the Score”

Agreed. I recently started a very physical job after decades of laptop work. Your personality changes quick, anxiety levels etc, as your body adapts. This is at 54 after 3 decades as an IC writing software. Lifestyle is by far the biggest driver, the body’s record is read-write memory rather than write-once.

Was this after you and two zany friends made a scheme to divert a fraction of a penny from each of your employer's transactions into a bank account that you control? And then you gave it all back but the building burned down and Milton made off with the cash?

Took a gap year at 26, farming. I’m not surprised that I got superlean. But for the first time since I was 13, I didn’t eat my words. My stress went down, but I could finally spell out words with full vowels (I usually just say the consonants). I’m also generally low self-esteem, low recognition, low hope, and for a short time I was easily dating, hopeful and it was easy to take strong decisions.

Population level proof is, at best, a model which fails every minority, including individuals. Which is arguably still useful, but only a different fallacy.

What job did you switch to? Are you happy with the change?

Server in a busy restaurant- and it’s more about basing my future on dual incomes for better financial stability, as well as lifestyle. I don’t need evening time at home anymore, I’m done chasing the fantasy relationship.

I doubt we agree on what the word lifestyle means.
