What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma by Stephanie Foo

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

A lovely, touching memoir about complex PTSD, breaking intergenerational cycles, and C-PTSD as beast and superpower. Foo weaves together her perspective as a journalist and child of immigrants with well-researched perspectives on therapies, interventions and mental health. Raw, heart wrenching, funny, and honest. This will make you feel inspired to be more compassionate to yourself, to others, and to earnestly approach your inner child and those around you with a generous, expansive love.
