pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered this from #botm without really knowing what it was about. I loved the depictions of Palestine and character progression of Yara. The talk of art, food, and mental illness ticks a lot of boxes for me.
So interesting to read a fiction book about someone with #cptsd! I‘ve read a lot of non-fiction about it but this was my first fiction book where complex trauma is directly stated.
If you know of any others please share them!
pickExcellent memoir about child abuse and resultant cPTSD. Very informative, it has references to other books and articles throughout, but reads like a story of her healing journey.
The first part was hard to read. The abuse she suffered may not have been the worst ever, but it was still horrific. I went through emotional abuse not physical, and have the same diagnosis so it was an interesting read! Would highly recommend.

Very powerful book. I think I‘ve been doing this my whole life and I‘m just beginning to be able to feel emotions again. #cptsd #mentalillness
pickThank you, Demi Moore. Spending this time with you reading to me and sharing your story was a blessing...and it helped me with my story.
“What if everything that hadn‘t happened to me but had happened for me. What I learned is that how we hold our experiences is everything. Taking responsibility for your reactions is freedom.”

Having my first #pumpkinspice 🎃 of the season and my first cold brew ever (I‘m a fan!) and doing therapy homework reading at Starbucks. The reading is easier this time around; the first time I had physical anxiety symptoms, but not this time. #cptsd #therapy #coffee
Therapy homework on this difficult news cycle day. This is one of the books I am tasked with reading while my therapist is on maternity leave. #cptsd #ptsd #besselvanderkolk #therapy
