The Body Keeps the Score
This groundbreaking book by Bessel van der Kolk explores the profound impact of trauma on the body and mind. It combines research with personal stories, offering insights into effective treatments such as EMDR and yoga. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the connection between trauma and physical health.
How To Do The Work
In this trauma informed booked, Dr. Nicole LePera (also know as The Holistic Psychologist on Instagram) dives into how past experiences disrupt the nervous system and thus lead to dysfunctional and frustrating, yet familiar, cycles in our adult life. This is one of my favorite reads!
How To Be The Love You Seek
Another great book by The Holistic Psychologist. In her newest book, Dr. LePera explores the reasons behind (and ways to heal) our unhealthy relationship cycles and communication patterns that are all tied to early dysregulation of the nervous system.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
This book by Lori Gottlieb follows a handful of her clients and their therapy journey. Many of their stories are relatable and also highlight the myriad of emotional experiences that unfold throughout the course of therapy.
