Books on Trauma

What Happend to You by Bruce Perry & Oprah Winfrey

I loved this book and in my personal opinion, I think it is one of the best books on trauma.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb

I give this book out for many clients. If you like physical copies, get out your highlighter! This is a great book to read and I hope you cry while doing the dishes as you listen to the Lego Land chapter.

My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem

“The body, not the thinking brain, is where we experience most of our pain, pleasure, and joy, and where we process most of what happens to us. It is also where we do most of our healing, including our emotional and psychological healing. And it is where we experience resilience and a sense of flow.” Resmaa Menakem

When the Body Says No by Gabor Mate

“Whether we realize it or not, it is our woundedness, or how we cope with it, that dictates much of our behavior, shapes our social habits, and informs our ways of thinking about the world” Gabor Mate
