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

5.0

In What My Bones Know, Stephanie Foo unflinchingly provides readers with her journey of growing up in an abusive household, how that impacted every aspect of her life, her diagnosis of CPTSD, and her healing. I really appreciate that background she gives about herself and her relatives. Foo touches in generational trauma and how that causes others around her to act certain ways and that, in turn, manifests in her. I also like that a lot of the discussion around trauma and how she responds to it sometimes feels more widely applicable and validating if not at thr same degree of intensity. I listened to this audiobook in small chunks over the last week or so and I recommend that avenue if possible. Foo reads it herself and also includes recording of some of her therapy sessions in the last half of the book.
