What My Bones Know

One of the best trauma-informed biographies I've read in a while. I feel seen and heard by her healing journey and unraveling my traumas. I'm at the stage where I'm identifying how my trauma manifests and confronting them head-on.

Anyway, I'm glad Stephanie learned to embrace herself with complex PTSD. I'm trying to do the same with my healing journey.

Updated Review:
It's been a while since I read this. I've used some of the resources she listed throughout her book like Pete Walker's book on Complex PTSD and such. I admire how she was able to better manage her C-PTSD symptoms and I feel that I can do that too.

I resonated with a quote that described how being a part of a minority group can contribute to complex PTSD. I'm queer and disabled, which has added to the forms of oppression I face on the daily on top of being an Asian woman. No wonder I didn't feel safe within my body.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom Stephanie. You made my night better.
