From my understanding of some of the most recent research, the body probably does "keep score" - but how that happens and who is predisposed to how much "scoring", it very poorly understood: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11449801/ / https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S02785... / https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23768722/


These are all neuroimaging studies. It's generally much less provocative to argue that a behavioral phenomenon has a physical substrate in the brain -- in fact, simple mind-body physicalism requires it -- what is an audacious and less-supported claim is that trauma, however defined, A: affects the body outside the brain and B: does so relatively often.
