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

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

it genuinely took me three tries and two years to get through this book (because it kept hitting too close to home and i kept getting triggered), but i finally did it. suffice it to say that i am infinitely glad  foo had the strength to write this, so that i could finally understand my own brain — and use this book as a sort of measure to see where i am in my healing journey with c-ptsd. it’s so fascinating how this time around, the things that sent me into a spiral two years ago don’t seem nearly as terrible. i’m glad this book exists, and i’m eternally grateful for my friends who show me more love than i could ever hope to repay.
