I’m a scientist. I haven’t read “the body keeps the score”. It sounds like pseudoscience.

But, I do recognize the importance of models. Our brains are complex, lacking the capacity to comprehend everything, we make models. Models are incomplete (by definition) and often false. But can still be very useful. Or very useful to some. Where useful means: help someone lead a more fulfilling, better life.

So I try not to judge. Even though I try to seek truth. To be a scientist. I know there are useful models out there.
