I Choose Elena by Lucia Osborne-Crowley
5.0
I Choose Elena is an essay on trauma, the impact trauma has on the body, the failures of the medical system, and recovery.
Lucia Osborne-Crowley tells her story, while discussing the long term affects of trauma and shame. This essay is well researched and gives detailed explanations on why the body reacts to trauma, and continues to react, the way that it does. How unresolved trauma can lead to chronic illness. How women continue to be doubted.
This book is such an important addition on the subject of trauma. While this book mainly focuses on sexual trauma, I feel anyone who has experienced trauma of some kind, could gain something from this book
